Project Details from Consultant Report

The Youth Advisory Board can serve to define goals for department engagement with youth. Meetings should be in the community, as youth will not likely come to the department, and representatives of OKCPD, up to and including Command Staff and the Chief, should regularly attend. This process could include youth dialogue circles on a regular basis in every district, with active OKCPD listening and supported by community-based mediation/facilitation.
