Juvenile Justice & Youth Development Programs & Grants Police and Youth The police and youth funding category supports initiatives to improve interactions between police and youth. The goals of the program are to promote positive youth development and to increase the numbers of police officers who are experienced and comfortable working and interacting with youth. Local public agencies may apply for funds to increase or enhance opportunities for youth and police to work together to benefit their community. See below for funding opportunities, awards, and additional links. The Juvenile Justice Advisory Committee (JJAC) also has two publications of particular interest to police agencies are: Children, Youth and the Police, Recommended Policies and Procedures, Revised 2015. A Second Reassessment of Disproportionate Minority Contact in Connecticut's Juvenile Justice System, May 2009. Another JJAC initiative is the patrol officer training curriculum "Effective Police Interactions with Youth", a one-day training class that teaches patrol officers about adolescent development and how to interact better with youth. The goal of the training program is to reduce the likelihood that interactions between police and youth will result in police action or negative outcomes for youth, particularly minority youth. For more information about when this training is offered, visit the Training and Events page. Grantees under the Police and Youth program category may access reporting forms at the Grantee Reporting: Police and Youth page. {TOP of page} Funding Opportunities for FY 2017/2018 The
