At NPA’s Neighborhood Safety Workshop,
William Harrison of the Community Policy Consortium declared that
he wants a partnership with NPA and agreed to take NPA demands to
their executive committee. Demands included support for NPA’s Standards of Good Policing, the use of NPA local groups as a resource for the Consortium’s community policing and school safety training programs. He agreed to schedule a conference call with NPA groups to begin a new partnership. Andrew Molloy from the American Probation and Parole Association (APPA) agreed to partner with NPA Affiliates and to make sure that a board member of the APPA attends local forums on the needs of ex-offenders. Molloy also agreed to work with NPA groups to develop a plan to address the needs of ex-offenders and the communities they re-enter. Molloy responded to the demands of youth leaders by agreeing to work with NPA to develop a youth court model for their cities. Youth court is a program in which youth are sentenced by their peers for minor delinquent and status offenses or other problem behaviors. Some of the types of offenses that can be addressed in youth courts include: theft, vandalism, bullying/harassment, underage drinking, traffic violations and school disciplinary issues. |
