The COE
The purpose of the Community Opportunity Event (COE) is to provide a safe and supportive environment for youth of all ages while connecting them with valuable resources and information. The COE focuses on empowering young adults by offering access to life skills training, job opportunities, mentoring programs, mental and physical health resources, GED and higher education information, as well as scholarship and grant opportunities. This event is a collaborative effort between the police department and community stakeholders, united in their commitment to guide and equip our youth with the knowledge and support needed to make positive life choices.
