Statement on MPD's Juvenile Program and Plan

DA Mulroy and members of his staff met with Chief Davis and representatives of the MPD, DMC, and Juvenile  Court. Over the next month or so, MPD will develop a summer plan addressing all parts of the city and all age groups, and will consult with our office and these other groups in doing so. Goals include keeping safe young unaccompanied children; ensuring that residents and visitors feel safe late at night; and minimizing youth contact with the criminal justice system.

Our office will work in partnership with MPD toward these goals, and will prosecute youth violence appropriately. We also plan to meet with members of the Youth Justice Action Council to solicit input, and to seek grant opportunities to provide facilities, services, and interventions to prevent youth violence.
