Sense of Urgency: Summer is just around the corner. It’s time to come together to stop the violence in our communities. Crime is not an island unto itself. We must address root causes. We realize that the police and criminal justice system cannot solve this by themselves. It will take all of us working together. We are inviting police officers, judges, crime prevention specialists, community advocates, youth development specialists, parents, students, educators, business professionals, healthy family consultants, social agencies, and others to join us. We will identify issues and causes, but our focus will be on working together to develop and implement real solutions.
