On April 6, 2010, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors instructed the Chief Executive Office (CEO) to implement a set of recommendations to address gang violence. These recommendations are being piloted in four demonstration sites (Florence Firestone, Harbor Gateway, Monrovia Duarte, and Pacoima) and include the following overarching strategies:
The recommendations are being phased in over an 18-month period to lay a foundation in each of the four demonstration sites for both immediate and long term action and will result in recommendations for countywide application.

These recommendations assume a heavy reliance on the coordinated efforts of County departments, municipal partners, community organizations, and residents. IVPP is a partnering with the CEO Office to provide data analysis and assessment support for various aspects of the initiative. |
