Why this website?

We are a community based task force consisting of parents, neighbors, youth, elected officials, faith leaders, law enforcement and educators.  Our mission and purpose is to educate the community at large in response to the increasing amount of gang activity and gang related violence that is occurring and what to look for. 

Our hope is that this site will enlighten and encourage parents and community members alike on solutions to stop the violence and obtain prevention measures to stop youths’ initial gang involvement.  In cooperation with local leaders, government and law enforcement, we will be able to enhance our community’s knowledge of gangs, and gang prevention.

Special Thanks

Our thanks go to the following people, without whom this website could not have been made possible:

Terry McMoore of the Urban Resource Center for his tireless actions in organizing the Stop the Violence community forum. It's out of that forum that the plans for this website were hatched.
