About the program <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Navigating Police Encounters<\/strong> is an online workshop delivered by teleconference to small groups of youth.\u00a0 In the first session, participants discuss their perceptions of policing.\u00a0 They also explore some of the ways in which perceptions are formed and the difference between perception and reality.\u00a0 Session 2 introduces them to the Steps to Justice website, created and maintained by Community Legal Education Ontario (CLEO).\u00a0 Youth walk through a six-part scenario depicting different hypothetical situations involving interactions with police. Using the Steps to Justice website, youth learn about their rights when engaging with police and how to navigate the situation to achieve the most positive outcome.\u00a0 In the process, they learn how to use the website to find legal information, including the forms, self-help guides and referral information for legal and social services that may be helpful in working through a future legal problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
