The Westchester County District Attorney’s Office coordinates the Gun Involved Violence Elimination (GIVE) Initiative, funded by the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services. The GIVE Initiative’s goal is to reduce and prevent shootings and homicides in Mount Vernon and Yonkers. To accomplish this goal, the Office collaborates with local police departments, the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, the Westchester Departments of Public Safety and Probation, and other community stakeholders.
