CAP Program

The Community Athletic Program, of CAP, consists of a traveling trailer filled with sports gear, games, and video game equipment and staffed by school resource officers.

Police & Youth Engagement

The concept is for police to engage with at-risk youth in areas where young people congregate during the summer months.  The CAP is deployed to neighborhoods where youth gather – usually unsupervised – and offers productive activities with an aim to deter crime and gang involvement.

Fosters Positive Relationships

As an added benefit, the program fosters positive relationships between youth and police.  Activities include basketball, baseball, flag football, flor hockey, tennis, board games, and video games.
