Haverstock Hills Event: Media Round-Up


Today, a coalition of community leaders, business owners, law enforcement, and faith-based organizations gathered to celebrate the success of the anti-gang injunction that went into effect one year ago in Harris County, Texas. This major undertaking has yielded amazing results, including a 50% reduction in calls for service.
