Empower Your Voice and Make a Difference in Our Community

What is the Youth Advisory Council?

The Youth Advisory Council was established in order to provide Baton Rouge youth with a safe and engaging environment to interact with their peers and their local police officers.

Through this program, youth will not only learn about law enforcement, but will have an opportunity to give feedback and ideas to the Baton Rouge Police Department.

Members will meet monthly with ranking members of the department to have open discussions and develop strategies on how to enhance police/youth relations.
