Miami-Dade ‘Teen Talks’ Program Is Fostering Dialogue Between Police And Local Youth
“All we are trying to do is open up that communication, break down the barriers and, just for a little bit, look through each other’s lens and get an understanding of one another,” Miami Police Chief Manuel Morales said.
Morales went on to note that “Teen Talks” has had positive impacts on 5 of Miami’s “most violent areas.”
“Model City, Little Haiti, Allapattah, Overtown, Little Havana, where 85% of all the violent crime in the city of Miami occurs in that area,” he shared. “If we are able to go into those neighborhoods and reach those kids before they get involved in the gun violence game, we stand a better chance of not only saving them, but [also] making their communities safe.”
