Hello Everyone,
Evelyn here,
with a message from Attorney General, Bill McCollum, on the statewide program to fight gang violence in our cities.
--------------
Statewide Gang Strategy comes to South Florida
Thursday marked the final organizational meeting of Florida's regional gang reduction task forces which are developing and implementing a statewide strategy to reduce gangs and gang violence. Together with state agencies, law enforcement, legislators, business and community leaders and youth-oriented organizations, the Attorney General's Office is working to stop the growth of gangs, reduce their numbers, and render any remaining ineffectual.
This strategy is unique in that it will be tailored to fit the specific needs of each of the seven regions. Now that all the organizational meetings have occurred, each region has a blueprint to develop its own strategy, including the structure, priorities and focus. We have already seen our efforts bring about positive change; if we continue working together and pooling not only resources but also initiative and talent, I am confident we can rescue our state from the dangerous threat of criminal gangs.
