Welcome to Strategies for Youth

Have your officers got their “strategies for youth” on?

Your department may want to develop its strategies for youth and ensure officers have the developmental competence they need to work with youth.

Strategies for Youth offers services that:

  • Improve police/youth interactions
  • Build community support of police
  • Promote Risk Management
  • Increase Efficient use of law enforcement resources.

Strategies for Youth is an advocacy and training organization dedicated to improving the interactions between police and youth by increasing the approach, options, and responses of police to youth. Through training that integrates developmental and psychiatric practices and cutting edge research, and by developing leadership in police departments, Strategies for Youth aims to reframe what is too often an adversarial approach to police/youth relations. 

  • SFY youth trainings called Juvenile Justice Jeopardy™ focus on teaching youth how to interact with police.
