Grade 12 student Samira Mohamed is among 440 young persons to gain the experience of the Youth in Policing Initiative (YIPI) program designed for kids from challenged neighborhoods. Samira has now graduated from the four month program and feels she has learned things about policing she never guessed at. Although she liked the idea of getting paid $10.90 an hour the C.W Jefferys Collegiate Institute student now says she it was an extraordinary experience for her and the other YIPIs. In response to the deadly Danzig Street shooting that claimed two young lives last July, the provincial government rolled out a youth action plan, with $20 million in new annual funding to improve the lives of young people in the city and the rest of the province. With Toronto Police Service news.
