Attorney General Bill McCollum and members of the Coordinating Council on Gang Reduction Strategies today joined elected and government officials, law enforcement, nonprofit group leaders, school administrators and the business community in Northwest Florida to continue implementing Florida’s first-ever statewide gang reduction strategy.
