Gang Prevention

“My boyfriend has been lying about doing drugs and being involved with a gang. I don’t know if I can trust him anymore.” -19-year-old

 

Gangs can be hazardous to your health. LAPD reports an average of 500-700 gang-related murders every year. About half the victims of gang-related killings are innocent people, many of them children.

There are organizations that can help you get OUT, if you want out, or if you know someone who wants out. They’re listed below. Don’t put off calling.
