Starting in 2012, the Wilmington North Carolina region experienced a wave of gang violence. Drive-by shootings became almost a common occurrence. Regional leaders including law enforcement needed to reconfigure their approach to reduce this violence. This course analyses the underlying causes of this violence and the factors that led up to this situation. It looks at the crime analysis principles and discusses the integration of intel led policing, to address gang violence in a medium sized city. It also reviews a corresponding application of community principles that assisted with significant violent crime reduction and its role in building strong relationships between the police and the community.
Gang violence across the country is on the increase in part due to the opioid and heroin epidemic, exploiting communities which are struggling with a number of difficulties and challenges. This webinar not only reviews the successful implementation of enforcement approaches but also shows how an equal emphasis on community engagement built strong community support even in the wake of increased law enforcement presence and activity deployed to these communities.
