The City of Sacramento Department of Neighborhood Services announces:

The Sacramento Police Department is developing a Law Enforcement Youth Development Program (YDP).

They are seeking a diversified group of young adults between the ages of 13 – 18 years old. These selected students must meet minimum requirements, such as a 2.0 GPA, leadership skills, school attendance, citizenship, and be interested in a possible career in law enforcement. Potential candidates must fill out an application, receive permission from their parents (if under age 18), and pass an interview. Upon acceptance into the program, students will be assigned a law enforcement employee to help guide them through the program.

The program will help guide students through academics and social experiences and direct them towards success. Successful students will have the opportunity to obtain part-time jobs as Public Service Aide's (PSAs), student trainees', record clerks, and Community Service Officers (CSOs) while going through the program.

For more information, please call Sgt. Shawn Rogers 808-0880, Officer Justin Brown 808-0887 or Officer Kris Sundby 808-0889.
