Abstract	The Junior High Police School Liaison Program is a three-year pilot project conducted by the Edmonton Police Department, and the Edmonton Public and Catholic School Systems. The objectives of the program include: (1) developing a preventive approach to crime; (2) reducing the local crime level; (3) improving relations among police officers, students, school staff, and the community; (4) developing and field testing materials and strategies for facilitating these objectives; (5) reducing student damage to school property; and (6) providing improved police resource assistance to students, school personnel, and parents. To evaluate the program, a modified version of the Cincinnati City Policy Attitude Questionnaire and a Knowledge of the Law Questionnaire were administered to students; principals, teachers, and police officers responded to a questionnaire evaluating various aspects of the program, its strengths and weaknesses; and crime statistics for juveniles of ages 12, 13, and 14 were collected. Principals, teachers, and police officers overwhelmingly agreed that the program is valuable and should be continued for the third year. Program students expressed more favorable attitudes toward police and the law than control students, and showed significant gains in their knowledge of the law and police duties. The decline in juvenile crime appeared to reflect a citywide trend. (Author/BW)
