Our Work
Our members work to improve the treatment of young people and their families involved with the juvenile justice system, enhance community safety, and develop and implement innovative strategies that prevent delinquency. We seek to bring about positive policy and practice change in the juvenile justice system by partnering with leading national and state-level organizations and creating tools, training, and publications.

Police and Youth Relations
The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention awarded CJJ and IACP a grant to administer the “Police and Youth Engagement: Supporting the Role of Law Enforcement in Juvenile Justice Reform” program. We will work with IACP to bring together youth and law enforcement officers for in-person and virtual meetings to discuss best practices and approaches to improving police and youth relations. In addition, we will assist in creating a training curriculum on this subject for law enforcement officers.
The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) as the professional voice of law enforcement. The IACP addresses cutting edge issues confronting law enforcement through advocacy, programs and research, as well as training and other professional services.
