Parents, families and anyone who knows a child is urged to watch an important special that will begin airing Sunday on KCLV Channel 2, the city of Las Vegas’ government access television station. “Las Vegas Gangs: Not Our Kids!” hosted by Nancy Byrne will focus on the gang problem in Las Vegas. The 30-minute special will be broadcast on Channel 2 and on the city’s Web site at www.kclv.tv at 8 p.m. on Sunday, June 8, and rebroadcast throughout the next several weeks.
There are more than 300 gangs represented in and around Las Vegas. Law enforcement agencies, school officials, city leaders and various groups and organizations have been working hard to stop gang violence through intervention and prevention. Viewers will get an up close look at just how prevalent the problem is by going on a ride along with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Special Gang Unit.
The program will also touch on several programs that help educate youth and their parents about the realities of gang life. One young man will be featured who spent his teen years involved in gangs but has since broken free and become a successful music producer. Viewers will also learn how they can help stop the violence in our community.
