FACE TO FACE: THE KIDS & COPS CONNECTION

Face to Face: The Kids & Cops Connection helps strengthen police/community relationships and helps youth develop positive strategies for dealing with conflict by bringing officers and recruits together with young members of the under-resourced communities they serve. The program engages police officers and recruits with elementary school students and their teachers in meaningful activities and dialogue. 

​

"There's never been a more important time for youth and police to connect. Jessica and Nina set up a fantastic experience with thoughtful, collaborative activities that allowed for meaningful interactions and learning for my students and the officers.  My students got to see that police officers are real people and the officers were able to see how amazing, and how filled with potential, my kids are!"
