This is the best program I’ve seen that breaks down stereotypes...
Police Chief Rick Smith, Kansas City, MO -
If you had told me it would be dope to share about my life with actual cops, I would have told you that you were crazy.
Katrina, Spokane, WA -
It gives the youth a way to see us as the people that we are, and not the uniforms that we wear.
P.O. Cynthia, Boston, MA -
The expansion of YPI in Kansas City represents a timely and essential opportunity to enhance and strengthen relationships between law enforcement and youth while fostering mutual respect. The program highlights the profound impact of honest, positive interactions, allowing both officers and youth to view one another through a humanizing lens. I am incredibly pleased that our officers are gaining valuable insights and skills for effectively communicating with Kansas City’s youth.
Police Chief Stacey Graves, Kansas City, MO -
Before we implemented YPI, I considered what we were doing with youth to already be accomplishing what YPI offered. Having experienced the program and the responses from our officers and youth participants, we are not providing this type of very intentional education and relationship building opportunity for our people or the youth we serve!
