POLICE DEPARTMENT APPLIES
FOR YOUTH SERVICES FUNDING 

The Pasadena Police Department has applied for a $342,008 Recovery Act Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) from the U.S. Department of Justice to help preserve the positions of six youth advisors, six police cadets and a police officer position assigned to the Youth Accountability Board program.

The grant would preserve 7 positions for employees who support programs that provide guidance and supervision to at-risk youths and preserve 6 positions for employees who are working as cadets, hoping to become future law enforcement officers. It requires performance measures focused on preserving and creating jobs along with the standard non-supplanting requirement.

All of these positions for employees within this grant support the police department’s service to youth within the community.
