Hillsborough's Violence Prevention Collaborative

The collaborative, launched in the aftermath of the school shootings in Newtown, Conn., in 2012, involves law enforcement agencies, city and county governments, the State Attorney's Office, the Hillsborough County School Board and the University of South Florida. 

Commissioner Kevin Beckner
who chairs the collaborative, said that while crime is decreasing in Hillsborough County, it is still prevalent and needs to be addressed at its root causes. "We can't arrest our way out of this problem," he said. here
