Overview

The Chief of Police is looking for students to join the youth advisory council, IMPACT. If you join, you will meet with the Chief each month. Here you can share your experiences on your community and law enforcement. Selected students will get to have open discussions with the Chief on law enforcement issues. They are even encouraged to suggest topics for each meeting. Your participation in IMPACT can help shape how we serve the Grand Rapids Community.

Transportation Assistance

We understand that not every student has transportation.  We don't want this to prevent you from sharing your input.

We will provide a bus pass to each student who needs one. We will also validate parking if you have your own transportation.
