“Gun violence continues to devastate communities across Milwaukee County and beyond. However, we have seen encouraging progress, including reduced homicide rates and positive outcomes from targeted violence prevention efforts, such as the Advance Peace program. I’m deeply grateful to Governor Evers for making violence prevention a statewide priority.
