The Youth Strategies Division also participates in several collaborative programs, including:

Operation Safe Child is a collaborative partnership run by the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services. Identification cards are issued to participating families that include a high resolution photo of their child, along with information on gender, date of birth, height and weight, and hair and eye color. Parents may also choose to include digital fingerprints of the child.

Operation Conversation: Cops and Kids is a part of the All Stars Project, Inc., promotes positive interactions between local youth and police officers. The program consists of workshops that use performance, improvisational games, and conversation to help teenagers and the police develop and improve relationships with each other.
