On Friday, December 19, 2014, at 6 p.m. at the Toronto Police College, 70 Birmingham Street, Deputy Chief Peter Sloly will join MPP (Durham) Granville Anderson, and 2014 Youth in Policing (YIPI) After School Valedictorian Darnesia Antongnanratnam, in congratulating 61 young people from across the city on graduating from the Youth in Policing Initiative After School Program.
The Toronto Police Service will be graduating YIPI students from the 17-week After School job program. The students were assigned throughout 17 Divisions, and the Mounted and Marine Units, and gained job experiences and life skills through their work with the police officers and community members. They also had a chance to partake in the Santa Claus Parade, 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 neighbourhoods throughout the city: 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.
