The Lake County Board on Tuesday officially accepted a $1.5 million federal grant to prevent gun violence.
It will help continue funding for a program manager, 13"violence interrupters," computer equipment and printed materials as well as a gun violence prevention director, youth outreach coordinator and technical assistance from national training programs, according to Steve Spagnolo, spokesman for the state's attorney's office.
Plans are to engage residents, community leaders, businesses, faith leaders, service providers and high-risk individuals to build coalitions and develop strategies to reduce violence. Two weeks ago, Rinehart's office announced that the Coalition to Reduce Recidivism and Waukegan Township would manage the interrupter program.
