The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention’s (OJJDP) mission is to help states, localities, and tribal jurisdictions develop effective and equitable juvenile justice systems that create safer communities and empower youth to lead productive lives. To that end, OJJDP is hosting this listening session as a call for input from police chiefs in the development of programming that strengthens police-community partnerships in support of prevention and early intervention as a comprehensive solution to youth-involved gun and gang violence.
