Members of Philadelphia's Kingsessing neighborhood gathered Monday to share ideas about ways to combat the scourge of gun violence plaguing the city.
Philadelphia's Office of Policy and Strategic Initiative for Criminal Justice and Public Safety continued their Roadmap to Safer Communities initiative Friday night by hosting an open floor meeting at Francis J. Meyes Recreation Center.
The hope is to reduce gun violence by finding solutions from within communities through four goals or strategies: Connecting to and helping you thrive, Coordinating city services and planning, creating strong community engagement and partnerships, and safer and healthier neighborhoods. "What do they need more of? What are some things they see missing in the community?" Senior Director of Criminal Justice and Public Safety Erica Atwood said. "Those who are closest to the problems are often closest to the solution."
