HPD T.A.P.S. into Houston's At-Risk Youth (Houston Police Department, HPD Video Production, CG)

In an effort to strengthen community-police relations within Houston's at-risk teen community, the Houston Police Department, the University of Houston-Clear Lake (UHCL), Texas Southern University and the Houston Independent School District's (HISD) Beechnut Academy announced the start of the Teen and Police Service Academy (T.A.P.S.).

Funded by a federal grant from the United States Department of Justice-Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), the goal of this innovative program is to increase trust in law enforcement with at-risk teens and provide a two-way better understanding of the challenges law enforcement and teens face every day.
