The two came to an agreement that the Los Angeles Police Department would train El Salvador\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s police forces in gang enforcement and prevention. The announced transnational accord followed last month\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s State of the City address where Mayor Villaraigosa unveiled his strategy to combat gang violence in Los Angeles. In his speech, the mayor outlined a plan to allocate $168 million dollars for enforcement and prevention programs. Targeted zones in the city would see a twin influx of anti-gang enforcement measures alongside economic development programs and intervention efforts. However, Connie Rice, Director of Advancement Project Los Angeles, and a consultant hired by the city, has issues with the mayor&#8217;s plan. According to her all but $15 million of the new funding constitutes money already being spent on such programs, which clearly haven&#8217;t worked well enough. And of the new money, only a small part is for non-police intervention and prevention services that Rice considers essential. <\/p>\n<p>This evening there will be a &#8220;Community and Policy Challenge Roundtable Discussion&#8221; on Social Welfare and Gangs at UCLA, from 6-8:30 pm at 100 Moore Hall, UCLA campus. <\/p>\n<p>Download the flyer here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uprisingradio.org\/home\/graphics\/UCLA_Gang_Round_Table.pdf\">http:\/\/www.uprisingradio.org\/home\/graphics\/<br \/>\nUCLA_Gang_Round_Table.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program GUESTS: Bo Taylor of Unity One, Dr. Jorja Leap, UCLA Department of Social Welfare, Gang Policy Advisor to Mayor Villaraigosa Before Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa cut short his trip to Mexico earlier this month, he visited with President Antonio Saca of El Salvador to promote law-enforcement cooperation to counter the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daily-program"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1531","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1531"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1531\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1531"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1531"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uprisingradio.org\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
