Sfy (Strategies For Youth)

Description

• No other national organization exists solely for the purpose of improving police/youth interactions, advancing the cause of training public safety officers in the science of child and youth development and mental health, and supporting communities partnering to promote strong police/youth relationships. STRATEGIES FOR YOUTHS CORE VALUES We believe police trainings that provide practical insights from the science of child and adolescent development and psychiatry are effective methods for enhancing the skills and options of officers when working with children and youth. We believe that police departments effectiveness and legitimacy is determined by the quality of their interactions with children and youth. We believe that communities should be partners with police in assuring the safety of children and youth, and promoting respectful relationships. We believe that how children and youth are policed has critical long-term implications for youths ability to fully participate in American society and their respect for the American system of law and order. We believe that investing in training officers how to interact effectively with children and youth supports the development of positive relationships between youth and officers and strengthens communities. We believe training programs are most effective when officers and youth are involved in creating and presenting them. We believe data demonstrating disproportionate rates of police contact with minority youth can be addressed through training, diversion, and innovation.
