"LUNCH WITH A
COP" Program
To enhance the relationship between our police
officers and the children in our community, we have instituted
our "Lunch with a Cop" Program. By school year’s end, it is our
goal to have had a police officer have lunch with every student
in every classroom in our local schools. We hope to forge long
lasting relationships with these very important members of our
community. As a bonus, each student will receive a souvenir cup
commemorating this encounter.
Chicago Ridge Juvenile Division
The
Juvenile Division of the Chicago Ridge Police Department takes a
proactive role within the community to ensure that the youth of
Chicago Ridge and its visitors remain safe within the community.
Our close relationship with Chicago Ridge School District 127
1/2 allows us a platform for our school program that delivers
key topics such as stranger danger, internet safety, bullying,
train safety, peer pressure, firearms safety, drug and alcohol
awareness, and bike safety to students in grades Pre-K to 8th
grade. In addition, we work closely with Our Lady of the Ridge
Catholic School, Oak Lawn High School, and Richards High School
to ensure that we reach all of the youth of Chicago Ridge.
Beyond the classroom, we also participate in events like our
annual "Lock-In" and the Chicago Ridge PTA's "March Madness,"
which gives us the opportunity to further engage the youth of
Chicago Ridge in a positive manner.
In cooperation with
the Worth Township Youth Service Bureau, we provide an
opportunity for first-time, non-violent juvenile offenders to
attend the Peer Jury program and it allows troubled juveniles to
take responsibility for their actions and requires them to
complete consequences like community service, in order to
fulfill their court alternative requirements. Worth Township
Youth Service Bureau also offers other programs like anger
management, mediation, and counseling services that we utilize
to proved the youth of Chicago Ridge with a full range of
services for their individual needs.
