“When it comes to at risk young persons, it is both legislative and programmatic. Legislative means that the law comes into play and we will provide all the support necessary. I spoke to Chester this morning, the Commissioner of Police, to give him the support that he needs because we do know that some young persons are just not about change. And we are saying if you don’t want to change, then we want the arm of the law to deal with you with full effect.”
