Youth Advisory Committee

Bring your voice to policing. We want to hear your ideas, issues, and suggestions.

The Ottawa Police Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) wants you to get involved in policing by helping with decisions, projects and events that matter.

REASONS TO JOIN: 

• Bring your voice to policing; we want to hear your ideas, issues, and suggestions 

• Work as a team with other youth and police to help make Ottawa safer 

• Make new friends 

• Help make OPS more youth-friendly 

• Get involved in solutions 

• Build your skills and resume, free food, and other perks! 

The YAC forms part of a broader youth engagement strategy and encourages police-youth relationships by providing a youth voice to the Ottawa Police and facilitating greater input and involvement by youth in Ottawa. 

Youth-led with police support and resources, the committee's main purpose is to help the Ottawa Police gain a broader understanding of youth by collaborating on events, programs and other initiatives.

If you are part of a youth group that wants your voice heard, YAC can come out and meet with you. We want to know what a safer Ottawa looks like to you and hear about your experiences with the police and ideas you may have to share with us.
