Clinton Police Youth Group Concludes Inaugural Year

From Clinton Police: The Clinton Police Youth Group just concluded its inaugural year. The Clinton Police Youth Group was established this past school year as a pilot program between The Clinton Police Department and students at The Morgan School. The goals of the program are to build a rapport between youth and police, provide mentorship to the youth, and to build leadership qualities in the young members of the group that they will be able to carry over into their adult lives.

The group met twice a month (after school hours) during the school year and participated in many different exercises designed to meet the aforementioned program goals. This year five Morgan Students participated in the program, with the hopes of expanding to ten to fifteen students next school year.

The program was coordinated by Sgt. Robert Sepega, with Officers Spencer Mangs and Nicholas Torino serving as the program mentors.

The funding for this program was provided by a grant that was secured by Clinton Partners in Community.
