(Chicago Sun Times) — Chicago Police are expanding a high school outreach program to prevent gang violence after the initial program appears to be making inroads, Police Supt. Jody Weis said at a news conference Sunday. The program, which started March 8 in high schools in the Police Department’s Area 1 — roughly from 2200 to 8700 south and from Harlem Avenue east to Lake Michigan — has resulted in students seeking to get tattoos removed and to leave their gangs, police said. Students are transferred to new schools when necessary.
