Agenda Text
The Board is requested to review and approve the Durham City-County interlocal agreement to continue support of the expanded gang reduction strategy with Project BUILD.
Durham’s Gang Reduction Strategy (GRS) developed as a response to recommendations from the Comprehensive Gang Assessment that was commissioned by the City and County and completed in November 2007. The Gang Assessment highlighted the need for a coordinated approach that includes prevention, intervention, and suppression strategies to reduce criminal activity committed by gang members in Durham. The interlocal agreement supports (1) full-time Outreach Worker, (1/3) full-time Bilingual Outreach Worker, and program costs not to exceed $108,208.
