As one of our most valuable resources for the future, youth is identified as one of RCMP's five strategic priorities. The RCMP has established more than 60 Youth Officers across the country specially trained to work directly with youth, for youth and to expand community capacity to prevent and reduce youth involvement in crime as both victims and offenders.
Through personal dedication, community support and commitment, programs focused on empowering youth through engagement with RCMP officers are increasing in communities across Canada. From mentorship, school liaison and literacy programs to education on drugs and bullying resistance, RCMP officers serve our communities with the compassion and knowledge necessary for making a difference in the lives of youth.
Safe Homes Sustainable - Communities (2007-2009) is dedicated to RCMP's Youth Officers and their ability and desire to continually go the extra mile for the voices and faces of our future. From the RCMP Sustainable Development Team - we salute you.
