BACKGROUND:
The children of our community are exposed to an ever increasing
number of violent incidents in their community, in their school
and in their home. This violence destroys the very fiber of the
family, neighborhoods, and society. The Miami Police Department
supports those dedicated to educating and assisting the children
of our community to overcome violence. The "Kids for Peace
program is dedicated to this effort. It targets elementary
school age children to promote awareness and dialogue for a non-
violent community. It also teaches -the children the value of
peace. The Program, additionally, is furthering their efforts by
adding components of the Kingian Non -Violence methodology to its
curriculum.
