Gang Task Force

 

The Task Force on Gangs and Youth Violence, a subsidiary of the Community Partnership of the Ozarks, is committed to the prevention of gangs and youth violence through education and prevention efforts and by partnering with local social institutions (i.e., schools, faith institutions, commerce, criminal justice, mental health) in their effort to reduce gang and violent youth activity.
