Working to Reduce Violence
Supervisor Knabe and the Hispanic Outreach Taskforce hosted the inaugural Southeast Summit on Youth & Violence. The purpose of this summit was to bring forth a conceptual framework for reducing violence in our communities. This framework will focus on a strategy that encourages cooperative, coordinated efforts among elected officials, law enforcement, educators, community organizations, outreach and intervention workers, health and mental health workers, faith based representatives, businesses, government agencies, and local nonprofits all working toward the common goal of reducing violence levels in neighborhoods and communities. |
