Gang prevention is a crucial aspect of maintaining community safety and well-being. The Leesburg Police Department is dedicated to proactive measures that address the root causes of gang involvement through a multifaceted approach. We collaborate with local schools, community organizations, and families to offer educational programs, mentorship opportunities, and recreational activities that provide positive alternatives for youth. By fostering strong relationships within our community and promoting awareness about the dangers of gang affiliation, we strive to create an environment where young people can thrive.
