Douglasville police discuss gang violence during town hall meeting
Douglasville police held an online forum to discuss the on-going gang crime problem.
DOUGLASVILLE,Ga. - Douglasville police tackled the issue of gangs and drugs during their quarterly town hall on Monday evening. The discussion comes just a couple of weeks after Douglasville police arrested 10 people after a gang-related fight. We ve been working gangs here since 2007. We ve prosecuted quite a few, said Lt. Ken Winklepleck with the Douglasville Police Department.
He said this type of violence isn t taking over the city, but it s something the department is actively fighting. Most of our more serious gang issues occur from gangs that are operating outside of Douglasville. They come here and victimize folks, he said.
