A total of 152 youth are graduating from the Toronto Police Service Youth in Policing Initiative.
On Friday, August 22, 2014, at 9 a.m. at MacDonald Block, 900 Bay Street, Deputy Chief Peter Sloly will join MPP (Durham) Granville Anderson and 2014 Youth in Policing Valedictorian Tamara Twumwah-Ofori in congratulating the young people from across the city on graduating from the Youth in Policing Initiative (YIPI).
For the ninth consecutive summer, the Toronto Police Service will be graduating YIPI students from our eight-week summer job program.
Students, who were assigned throughout the Service in each of the 17 Divisions and support units such as Forensic Identification Services, Homicide and Mounted, have completed their summer work term. These students gained job experience and life skills through their work with the police officers and community members. They also had a chance to partake in several crime prevention initiatives, community events and training opportunities.
The Youth in Policing Initiative is part of the Government of Ontario's Youth Opportunities Strategy. This strategy is helping to build stronger communities by establishing and expanding community programs that help youth achieve a brighter future.
The young people in this program, aged 15-18, represented the neighbourhoods of: Eglinton East-Kennedy Park, Scarborough Village, Kingston-Galloway, South Parkdale, Westminister-Branson, Steeles-L'Amoreux, Weston-Mt. Dennis, Lawrence Heights, Flemingdon Park-Victoria Village, Crescent Town, Malvern, Jane-Finch, Jamestown, Regent Park, and Dorset Park.
