Adolescence is a challenging time for a child and family. Poor choices and risky behavior can quickly jeopardize a child’s future. The Yonkers Police Department supports our youth and recognizes that early intervention can prevent future law enforcement involvement and criminal behavior.

The Yonkers Police Department is rooted throughout the Yonkers community with a genuine interest in the success of our younger population. The additional support of the Department’s Youth Advisor is available to provide literature and referrals to local agencies.

Caregivers are encouraged to seek support to address concerns pertaining to the emotional well-being and overall safety of Youth and young adults. Contact our Youth Advisor Alison Licht for more information or utilize the information below to make direct contact with the following offices:
