Kids and Kops – The Big Brothers Big Sister’s Kids and Kops program is a mini police academy, getting kids to spend time with local police, learn what it takes to be a police officer and learn how to help make the community a safer place. Irma Van de Bon-Nichol, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yorkton and Area, explains that they want to build a positive relationship between kids and police. She says this could also make a difference as kids grow up and consider the police service as their career. The program, which has been running since 1998, is funded by Sask Lotteries and supported by local business and the RCMP.
