UNCP Violence Prevention Task Force

The United Neighbors Community Partnership started the Violence Prevention Task Force in April 2008 in response to resident concerns of violence in their community.  The UNCP Violence Prevention Task Force is a proactive, collaborative group made up of representatives and volunteers from the Mayor's office, the Fall River Police Department, the District Attorney's office, the Fall River Housing Authority, Youth Services, Youth Outreach Workers, neighborhood and merchant associations, residents, youth and many community agencies.  The goal of the Peace by Piece Summit is to bring together the community to gain the skills and knowledge to address violence in their own communities, raise community awareness and mobilize others within the community to take action. 

Together we can achieve peace in our community!
