Victoria Police: Youth Resource Officer
Notes
Victoria Police is committed to ensuring the safety and welfare of young people throughout the state. Young people generally feel overwhelmed by the pressures placed on them by different groups within society. Friends and family particularly, have expectations that often conflict.
Every day, police see the impact that this has on young people. It is a responsibility of police to take positive steps to address some of the problems Victoria’s youth face in society.
Specifically, the youth programs developed by Victoria Police encourage them to engage in positive social interaction. The activities are safe, as well as drug and alcohol-free.
