COYO - Investing in Youth

Our three main objectives are:

- to promote a closer liaison between our members’ respective agencies on youth justice issues

- to promote the exchange of information, advice and methodology between youth officers in Ontario

- to keep our respective Chiefs of Police informed on the need for legislative changes, as well as the ramifications of legislative changes.


About Us

The Committee is comprised of youth serving police officers from Ontario Police Services as well as youth services workers, private sector youth organizations, instructional/training facilities and various school boards. This collaboration of professionals seeks to educate those involved in serving at risk youth and explores youth related issues in an inclusive manner so that youth crime trends, potential legislative changes, and service delivery options are considered.

Each year, the C.O.Y.O holds an annual conference in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and brings together over 500 participants from policing, education, youth services workers and other youth related services. The conference is held annually during the last week in February at the Sheraton on the Falls.

The C.O.Y.O conference is recognized within the law enforcement community as the leading event of its type in Canada. It provides participants with a venue to network and exchange best practice information as well as hear from leading experts in child/youth development, threat assessment, aggression, and program delivery.
