NEWBURGH--City of Newburgh Police Chief Daniel Cameron joined the Orange County DA for a “call-in” on Oct. 21 as part of a Group Violence Intervention (GVI) program meant to prevent violent crime.
Newburgh law enforcement met with parolees and persons on probation associated with violence in the city to let them know the rules have changed and they are on notice. GVI is an aspect of Gun-Involved Violence Elimination (GIVE), grants from the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services.
So far in 2015, law enforcement has reduced violent crime in the City by 17.5 percent.
