 On Friday, Governor Wolf signed an Executive Order committing the resources and power of his administration to the fight against gun violence in PA. He is creating a new Office of Violence Prevention within the Pa Commission on Crime and Delinquency and the Division of Violence Prevention within the Department of Health. These offices will gather and share data and bring together leaders who can work collaboratively on solving our violence problem. The Governor's focus on the different types of gun violence, including community violence, youth violence, domestic violence and suicide recognizes the diverse nature of the problem and the need for a multi-faceted approach to developing and implementing solutions. We appreciate the Governor’s actions and were honored to stand with him as he signed the Order. We echo his call for the legislature to do its part and pass critical life-saving laws. It’s time to get to work to make PA safer! | |
