This group is no longer meeting
The Youth and Gang Violence Subcommittee is committed to collaborating and communicating across systems and with affected communities. The Committee’s vision is a violence-free, opportunity-rich future for every member of our community. Its mission is to reduce youth and gang violence, reduce related disproportionate minority contact, and lessen the disproportionate negative impacts of gang violence on communities of color.
Since 2013, the Youth and Gang Violence Subcommittee has overseen the work of the OJJDP Comprehensive Gang Assessment, a three-pronged approach that balances and coordinates enforcement, intervention, and prevention strategies and that pursues well-defined, long-term goals and outcomes. LPSCC adopted the assessment in 2014, and in 2017, the council approved the Strategic Plan to Address Gang Violence. The subcommittee is currently working on implementing the six strategies.
