Classroom and Cops - Junior Officer logoVenice Police Department Officers are dedicated to fostering awareness and education across diverse subjects for students of all ages, imparting valuable lessons on self-worth and community engagement. Our flagship program, "ADVANCE" (Avoiding Drugs, Violence, and Negative Choices Early), specifically designed for fifth-grade students, spans five weeks and culminates in a memorable graduation event.

Throughout the program, our officers engage students in meaningful discussions covering essential topics such as handling peer pressure, addressing bullying, navigating social media responsibly, understanding the risks associated with drugs and tobacco, and empowering them to confidently say "NO" through the exploration of positive alternatives.

By instilling these crucial life skills, we aim to empower our young community members to make informed and responsible choices, ultimately contributing to the creation of a safer and more supportive environment. Together, we build a foundation for a future where our students are well-equipped to navigate life's challenges with resilience and confidence.
