Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer on Wednesday outlined his plans for curtailing gang violence in the aftermath of Mayor Lee Brand’s veto of a city council initiative to prevent gang shootings.
Brand’s veto set the mayor at odds with a majority of city council members, who voted 3-2 in June to direct his administration to meet with community leaders, roll out the Advance Peace program, or another option, to address gun violence. The effort would have been partially funded with $200,000 from city coffers.
