Toronto Recreational Outtripping Outreach Program

Toronto Recreational Outtripping Outreach Program Wilderness canoe program involving Toronto Police and Inner City Youth. Youth participants
are between the ages of 13 to 19.

For two months every summer, Toronto Police officers trade guns for paddles, bullet-proof vests for P.F.D.s, boots for sandals, striped pants for shorts and scout cars for canoes. The Toronto Recreational Outtripping Outreach Program

(TROOP) is entering its 16th year. The program evolved as the result of a unique partnership forged between the Toronto Police Service, Toronto Parks Forestry and R

ecreation and ProAction Cops and Kids. Every summer TROOP takes over 100 people on canoe trips to the wilderness of Northern Ontario. The program gives youth and police officers an opportunity to learn a little more about
each other while experiencing an environment that many of them have never seen before. Youth are invited to attend “free of charge” due to the generosity of a not-for-profit organization called ProAction Cops& Kids. ProAction funds numerous programs involving police officers and youth. TROOP participants are provided all necessary equipment including food, transportation and camping gear while attending on trips. TROOP is coordinated through the Toronto Police Service Divisional Policing Support Unit.
