Overview

Mission

The dallas police youth foundation was formed in 2013 in an effort to create a sustainable financial avenue to support the youth outreach efforts and programs of dpd. Dpyf determined that support for youth outreach programs was too important to allow budget fluctuations to drive program offerings. As a result, dpyf is committed to fund the police athletic/activities league, blue in the school, junior police academy, dalas police explorers and junior explorers, unidos, as well as timely special events that speak to the very heart of dpyf's mission.

What it reported doing in 2022

The doug woodham dallas junior police academy jpa is an intensive one-day program for youth from throughout the city of dallas. The program seeks to provide age-appropriate information to kids on important topics related to policing and personal safety. This program acts as a gateway program for many other dpd programs as many of the kids who participate in jpa go on to engage in other dpd youth outreach programs. The jpa program was initiated in 2010 and has grown significantly in successive years. This one-day program provides basic 4th - 7th grades and advanced 8th - 10th grades classes. Each class is provided with a uniform shirt, nametag, and a badge number and students are assigned to a team led by a uniformed police officer. After a welcome by the chief of police, the participants engage in a variety of activities. No detail of the day is insignificant. The day is a deliberate balance of information designed to provide the students with tools to keep themselves safe and fun activities to hold their interest. Participants receive information on nutrition and an emphasis on staying hydrated, while taking part in physical activities led by dpd police academy training staff. Participants will ride on the track at the academy in a patrol car with the lights and sirens, and will engage in a timely and age appropriate presentation on domestic dating violence. Participants will also dust and lift their fingerprints just like they see on television and then listen raptly to a former gang member who was shot and blinded by his so-called friends. At the end of the day, each participant will receive a police badge noting their successful completion of this program. Funding is utilized for supplies.
