The Committee will create a comprehensive strategy to combat juvenile violence by using a multi-prong approach of education, prevention, intervention, parental coaching, family counseling, and other relevant factors.

The Committee will also create a Youth Program comprised of juveniles recommended by the Warren County Youth Court and the Vicksburg Warren School District.

Mayor Flaggs states, “This is the first step in taking care of the future of Vicksburg. We intend to focus on the mental, psychological, and behavioral safety and well-being of the children in the City of Vicksburg. This Committee is dedicated to that common goal.”
