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.
