ABOUT THE ROLE: HOW YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE SERVICE

The Halton Regional Police Service, in partnership with the Ministry of Children and Youth Services, is offering the Youth in Policing Initiative (Y.I.P.I.) Program to address the growing needs of our youth. This eight-week summer paid employment opportunity is available to youth aged 15 to 18 from Priority Populations who reflect the cultural diversity of Halton Region.
Candidates must reside in Halton Region and be returning to a secondary school program in September 2025. The program will run from July 2, 2025, to August 22, 2025, offering approximately 35 working hours per week. The goal of Y.I.P.I. is to hire ten youth from the community, providing them with the chance to develop valuable employment skills while fostering stronger police-community relations.

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL GET TO DO:

The YIPI student will interact with, and learn about, the many aspects of policing, have the opportunity to serve their community, and learn about leadership and teamwork. The mandate of this program is:

• To provide a safe and positive summer employment opportunity for youth that is reflective of the cultural diversity of the community
• To enhance relationships between police and the communities they serve by developing a positive working relationship
• To promote youth participation and exposure to the work environment through diverse, educational, and productive work assignments with the police service that will impact the community
• To promote the Halton Regional Police Service as an employer of choice
