**Community Policing Initiative: Airport Visit for At-Risk Youth**
Today, we are taking fifty at-risk youths to the Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport—a unique experience designed to inspire dreams and build trust.
Community policing is about more than enforcement—it is about connection. Field trips like this expose young people to new environments, careers, and possibilities they may never have imagined. For many, it is their first glimpse into the world of aviation, travel, and public service.
When officers engage positively with youth, it breaks down barriers and builds meaningful relationships. These shared experiences help reshape perceptions, showing law enforcement as mentors and allies.
Today is not just a visit—it is an investment in our future. Moments like these spark ambition, foster trust, and strengthen the bonds between police and the communities we serve. Together, we take off toward building a safer, more hopeful tomorrow.
