Agenda Item Summary:
Funds will be used to sustain RCPD’s High-Risk Youth Coordinator position. They conduct service navigation for at-risk youth and their families, connecting them to various service systems as needed. This includes the handle-with-care program which coordinated 2,092 notifications to date. This funding supports proactive measures to address victimization, especially among high-risk youth, who often display warning signs of trauma.

This is an annual grant RCPD receives every year.
