YOUTH SERVE SOCIETY WITH POLICE
In a unique move to engage the youth in public service, the Royal Bhutan Police initiated the Police
Youth Partnership Programmme (PYPP) in 2008.
Young students, both boys and girls, were embedded with police patrols during their long winter vacations. The key objectives of the PYPP was to motivate youth to voluntarily participate in public services and work closely with police in understanding the latter’s role in maintaining a crime-free and peaceful society
The PYPP has become a regular feature now, and many a youth have participated in the programme.
The programme has so far engaged 591 students.
The programme gave the participating youths the opportunity to accompany police personnel for night patrols to understand the difficulties the police face in providing public services to the people.
It also included visits to prison cells to practically understand the consequences of not abiding by the laws of the country.
The programme also sensitized and educated the youths on issues related to drug abuse, fire and traffic safety, and HIV/AIDS. They were also taught about the right of the child, child abuse and trafficking.
Through the programme, it was expected that the participating young people would learn the importance of being goodwill ambassadors and agents of change in Bhutan for continued peace and prosperity of the country that believes in the philosophy of Gross National Happiness.
The impact of the PYPP is best described by one the youth participants: “We have learnt policing and youth problems which we hope to disseminate to our friends in schools and communities.”
