Vision

The Anaheim Chief’s Youth Advisory Council works under the guidance of the Chief of Police to explore community issues by gathering information, discussing solutions, and making a positive difference in the community.  Last year, the council created and implemented an Anti-Bullying curriculum to over 100 Anaheim youth.
