LAPD Juvenile Program Graduation Held Saturday
The Los Angeles Police Department Juvenile Impact Program preaches discipline to troubled youth.
Youth graduates of the Los Angeles Police Department's Juvenile Impact Program sat on as their parents and supporters got a glimpse of what this military-style "boot camp" is all about, according to the Los Angeles Daily News.
Video footage of the program was shown at a Saturday morning graduation ceremony at Van Nuys High School, in which troubled youths that participated in the program were acknowledged for completing the 12-week program, according to the Daily News. See the YouTube video, which is attached to this story.
The program is designed to alter the lives of troubled kids, ages 9-17, as the kids meet with ex-convicts, perform physical exercises, and spend time with counselors over the course of the entire program.
