Wanted: High school students that can offer insight to Houston police of what it's like being a young person today. It's an opportunity to engage in civic community service projects that look so good on college applications. It's an opportunity to network with high school students from around the state. If you know of a grandchild or neighbor who might be interested, pass along this information sent from the Houston police department:
The new school year is underway and the Houston Police Department is looking forward to working in tandem with young leaders in our high schools.
