YRIPP is the Youth Referral and Independent Person Program. YRIPP delivers a high quality system of adult volunteers called “Independent Persons” who attend police interviews with young people in police custody when a parent of guardian is not available. YRIPP also seeks to divert young people from future offending through early intervention at the point of police contact.
