Introduction
The Frontline Conference aims to provide opportunities for all systems, agencies and
individuals that impact gangs and violence to build relationships, find common ground and learn from each other in an environment of mutual respect.
Representatives from community-based organizations, law enforcement, courts, government agencies, probation, schools and our communities are invited.
A diverse collection of over 60 presenters will use their experience, both professional and personal, to help us:
understand the nature of gangs in the San Francisco Bay Area;
discover available resources for violence prevention;
successfully reduce violence; and
improve the quality of life for San Francisco and Bay Area residents.
We look forward to providing an educational experience that highlights viable alternatives and solutions to violence, and maximizing our chance to mobilize resources for better communication, coordination and accountability.
No single agency or individual can address this problem alone; it is our responsibility to work together effectively and efficiently. Please join us at the Frontline Conference.
Go to [Stop the Violence in SF] to learn about violence prevention for youth in San Francisco.
