Man pleads guilty to violent threats at pizza restaurant
To keep people safe, we need to do everything we can to prevent violence from occurring in the first place. I am proud to advance these initiatives to seek out the root causes of violence, including gang violence. We must bring law enforcement, health professionals, and community organizations to the table to create safer communities.
Governor Josh Stein
Governor Stein signed an Executive Order continuing the Office of Violence Prevention, an initiative he championed as Attorney General. In that announcement, the Governor reestablished the office’s Advisory Board, made up of health professionals, government leaders, law enforcement officers, and community-based organizations.
The office will highlight initiatives to strengthen firearm safety, expand cross-sector partnerships across the state, and provide training and education to empower local communities to move forward holistic, evidence-informed strategies to address and prevent violence.
The Governor also established the Gang Prevention and Intervention Task Force within the Governor’s Crime Commission, co-chaired by Department of Adult Correction Secretary Leslie Dismukes and Director of the North Carolina Office of Violence Prevention Siarra Scott.
The task force membership will consist of law enforcement, education leaders, legal representatives, mental health and substance use organizations, and people who have successfully left gangs. The task force will focus on reducing the presence and impact of gang activity in North Carolina, including keeping young people out of gangs.
