Youth, Safety & Community: A Conversation with Calgary Police

In this important conversation, we sit down with representatives from the Calgary Police Service, Superintendent Smart and Sergeant Berti, to discuss the realities facing young people and families today. From youth crime trends and gang prevention to social media safety, the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA), and youth diversion programs, we explore how parents and communities can better support youth before problems become crises. We also discuss the changing realities of parenting in the digital age, the unique challenges immigrant and newcomer families may face, and the critical role that schools, community organizations, law enforcement, and families play in creating safe and thriving communities. Whether you're a parent, educator, community leader, or simply someone who cares about the well-being of young people, this episode offers valuable insights, practical advice, and hopeful solutions for supporting Calgary's next generation. https://www.instagram.com/calgarypolice/ https://www.instagram.com/calgarypolicediscovery/ https://www.instagram.com/calgarypolice_chief/ https://www.instagram.com/cpfyyc/ https://www.instagram.com/cityofcalgary/ https://www.tiktok.com/@calgarypoliceofficialhttps://www.calgarypolice.ca/public-safety/youth-safety-and-programs.htmlIf you’d like to share podcast input, ideas, or feedback, email us at [email protected] out our website, www.chartedrootseducation.ca, for coaching, courses, and more.You can also find us on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook under the name “chartedroots.”
