ROBERT TAJTI: Music! Not Mischief
6Constable ROBERT TAJTI took a difficult personal experience and turned it into a very positive community project. Having parented a troubled teenaged daughter, Robert wanted to form a program that provides kids with a positive way to be engaged as an alternative to drugs and violence. So in 2008 he formed Music Not Mischief a youth outreach program that partners schools, the police and the community where volunteer police mentors give guitar lessons to local kids. Students learn to play in a safe environment and, at the end of the initiative, they get to showcase their talents in a stage performance with local rock band Tracenine. Year Two of the program has expanded to two local highschools where students will be enriched thorough music and positive role models and also get the chance to learn from their peers and build a sense of community.
