AS PART OF THE CITY OF SALINAS’ ‘FIGHT AGAINST GANGS’, REPRESENTATIVES FROM 7 FEDERAL AGENCIES PLAN TO BE IN SALINAS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THIS IS THE FIRST SUCH VISIT SINCE SALINAS JOINED THE WHITE HOUSE’S 6-CITY GANG AND YOUTH VIOLENCE PILOT PROGRAM. THE 6 CITY’S INVOLVED IN THE PROGRAM ARE CHICAGO, DETROIT, MEMPHIS, BOSTON, AND SALINAS.
