Crime Prevention
PCYC was started with the following basic philosophy 60 years ago and we still hold with the same value today, “We want to get to the kids before the kids get to the Police Station.”
It is very true that most young people and indeed most of PCYC’s members will never have to deal with being on the wrong side of the law. PCYC is not there just for young offenders and kids at risk, as we believe in a whole of community approach to the way we conduct our operations in Queensland.
In fact, we believe all of our activities have benefit to the community as we engage with young people in a positive and supportive way, encouraging interaction with police officers and providing a forum for young people to make positive life choices.
We also provide a range of specialist programs in local communities particularly targeting youth issues and supporting young people at risk. For more information click on the boxes opposite for specific examples of our work in the community.
