Cities and Counties across the Northern Virginia region are working in partnership to mitigate the threat of gang activity in our area through law enforcement, prevention, education and intervention initiatives as part of the Northern Virginia Regional Gang Task Force.  In addition to the work of our valued law enforcement professionals, whose collaboration across jurisdictions has resulted in a decrease in gang-related crime in Northern Virginia over the past 4 years operation, prevention specialists across the region are continuing to work together to build and enhance positive programs that help support young people and adults in our community. Part of this work involves informing the community of supports, programs and resources that are available.

Whether you are:

A young person needing to find someone to talk to, are interested in looking for a job or are bored and wanting to find an activity, a parent who is worried and looking for some tips or support, a staff member looking for resources for a client, an interested community resident looking for information or to find out how you can “give back” to support prevention activities (such as mentoring or other volunteer opportunities), you will find suggestions and contact information of people who are here to help with these and other issues.

Thanks for visiting and please check back for future updates!
