Campus Crime Stoppers Junior Advisory Group
January 21, 2020

Manatee CrimeStoppers is forming a Campus CrimeStoppers Junior Advisory Group (JAG) to engage High School Student Leaders in making their schools and community safer.

The mission of the JAG is to engage key student leaders from Manatee County high schools in order to help identify common trends in unsafe practices, illegal behavior or criminal activity which pose a threat to the overall health, welfare and general safety of students, faculty and staff on school campuses. The JAG will also help formulate effective strategies to minimize and/or eliminate these threats to school safety.

Students selected to serve on the JAG will meet 3 – 4 times per school year (either after school or a few hours on a Saturday morning).

JAG Members will earn Community Service Hours for their participation.

JAG Members may serve as Ambassadors at special community events as well as interact with local media.

JAG Members will be introduced and recognized at the Manatee Crime Stoppers Annual Banquet or luncheon meeting.

Ideal Candidates for the JAG:

· Current high school Juniors (both boys & girls)

· Have an unweighted GPA of 2.75 or higher

· Respected by both fellow students and faculty

· Have a positive attitude & a heart for service

· Involved in at least one extracurricular activity (Sports, Music, Service Clubs, etc)
