The Brockville Police Service has received $75,000 from the Civil Remedies Grant Program for the launch of Connections, a new community based program. Police have identified that one common factor among youth in the justice system is that they have been suspended or expelled from school at one time.
Connections’ programs provide a supervised, safe environment where youth can build life skills, increase personal success, practice responsible behavior, and become more engaged in the community. Police are providing this program as a support for youth who have been in trouble at school and need some help to get back on the right track.
