| Description: |
The Delta Police Department is developing youth gang prevention strategies to prevent and discourage youth involvement in gangs, bullying and extortion. The department will work with community groups, schools, school liason officers and other municipal agencies to address youth issues outside of school in areas that gangs are known to frequent. A full-time, multidisciplinary team of police officers, youth workers and community members will work to address growing community concerns of criminal activity among youth. This program is scheduled to begin in early 2013. |
