Youth gun violence and community violence reduction
Summary
The sheriff's community violence reduction team pulled over 210 guns off county streets in a year, including 11 from juveniles, with adults arming kids to dodge harsher penalties. Councilors asked how the city can partner, including e-bike safety outreach and school-based youth services officers.
