High school students in Oklahoma City can join the Youth Engagement Council (YEC) to meet with local police and discuss issues in their neighborhoods and schools. The program is open to students in grades 9 through 12.
According to the City of Oklahoma website, students can register online for the spring sessions, with the first meeting on February 10 at Capitol Hill High School. Other sessions are March 10 at Frederick Douglass High School and April 14 at U.S. Grant High School, from 5 to 6:30 p.m., with a meal provided. Attendance at all sessions is encouraged but not required.
The YEC is part of the OKC Public Safety Partnership, which involves community stakeholders working to improve public safety. More information is available on the OKCPD community outreach page and the city’s official site.
