Global News
The Youth in Policing Initiative is back in Guelph this June after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Guelph police is bringing back its Youth in Policing Initiative after being away for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The program is back this June and the force said it’s looking forward to starting the summer initiative again.
It gives high school students a chance to work with police for the summer, offering them competitive wages along with hands-on experience.
Scott Tracey, media relations coordinator for Guelph police, said the return of the program is a sign that things are getting back to normal.
“I think they’re still sorting out what their involvement is going to be, but I know the students typically do help out at community events,” Tracey said.
“They do have a chance to interact with various departments within the Guelph police and learn about what’s involved in those departments.”
He said it’s a great opportunity not only for young people looking to get involved in a career in policing, but for those who want to work in an interesting spot for the summer.
He added it’s an interesting place for students to work and probably unlike any other summer job they’ll ever have.
