Connecting with Youth: HRPS Launched a New Engagement Strategy

As one of the fastest growing communities in Canada, it is important that we unite to ensure no young person is left behind. In consultation with our members, Youth Advisory Council, and 49 community partners, the Halton Regional Police Service create our inaugural Youth Engagement Strategy; a roadmap that guides our youth related work from 2025-2027.

Collaborating with representatives across various sectors including education, healthcare, youth justice, child welfare, and settlement/newcomer agencies, allows us to better understand what young people need to live productive and meaningful lives, and work together to offer solutions.

The Halton Regional Police Service will continue to ensure that youth voices are heard during the creation, delivery, and measurement of future initiatives, including high-quality programs that equip young people with transferable life skills.

Bolstered by an abundance of progressive programs across the region, the Youth Engagement Strategy is a robust plan that outlines how we can work together to identify youth from all ages and walks of life who need assistance, and mobilize as a community to meet their needs.
