A YET is made up of a mixture of Police Officers, Police Community Support Officers and Neighbourhood Investigation Officers. Their key role is to build better relationships with children and young people, provide crime prevention advice and to find out what issues matter most to them. They do this in the following ways:
Deliver educational inputs into schools
Conduct youth surveys
Patrol areas where young people hang out
Run intervention workshops with young people and their parent/carers
Attend safeguarding events and partnership meetings
Liaise with the Community Safety Partnership and Childrens Services to deliver appropriate interventions with children and young people suspected of committing ASB
Deliver the mini police programme
Identify and seek opportunities to build trust and confidence between young people and the police
Promote engagement with children and young people through face to face and digital forms of communication
Seek opportunities to understand the concerns and issues impacting on children and young people in the local area.
Ensuring that young people understand the law, feel able to reach out to us if they need help and provide them with resources to support them to make informed choices for their futures.
