I won't be in uniform anymore, but you will still get my experience!


 

special guests

I am passionate about bridging gaps between youth and the police. The lovely, brilliant and talented Miss Ashley Callingbull helped me do just that at an Indigenous High School .

Giving youth a voice to talk to the police or any professional is always a good use of everyone's time.

Thank you Ashley! 

 

Mentoring Presentation

One of my favourite topics to present on is mentoring. Police are NATURAL mentors. Kids and youth look up to the police, whether either of them knows it or not. I like to teach both the police and the young people that they innately admire one another. 

Police are active = so are most young people

Police are generally outdoorsy = so are most young people

Police often are animal lovers = so are most young people

Police enjoy their careers = many young people want to be police officers

Police have life experience = young people need guidance

Police want to help others = so do many young people 

Police like to talk about themselves lol = so do young people lol
