Founded in 1975, the State of New York Police Juvenile Officers Association (SNYPJOA) is a statewide educational and training organization. With a focus on crimes committed by or against children, our training educates officers and professionals with the tools they need to serve, protect, and positively impact the lives of youth and families throughout New York. Our members work directly with children in schools and communities, building trust, providing guidance, and offering resources for safety, counseling, and rehabilitation. Through these efforts, we strengthen relationships, promote safety, and foster resilience among young people.
