The Ottawa Police Service is working hard to encourage positive relationships with youth. Whether through School Resource Officers, the Ottawa Police Venturers program, various community partnerships, education programs or the hundreds of neighbourhood events held every year, police routinely cooperate with youth to improve your community.
