Spotlight in Central Virginia
GRIP is
an award winning and nationally recognized program in the metro-Richmond
area. The Attorney Generals Office enjoys a close working relationship
with the City of Richmond and the Richmond Police Department. This
relationship began in 2003, when the Office received a $2.3 million
grant for the creation of the Gang Reduction and Intervention Program (GRIP). The
program is a unique collaboration of law enforcement and community
resources who joined together to save our youth and rebuild our neighborhoods. For

metro area, click here.
