The National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) and the Working Interfaith Network (WIN) will come together on February 24  to host the most important city-wide dialogue to date on youth homicide and violence. The event: Lives In The Balance: A Community Speaks Out Against Violence comes on the heels of a rash of homicides that have challenged law enforcement, religious and political leaders, and the wider community for answers. NOBLE and WIN (and WIN’s parent organization PICO - People Improving Community Through Organizing) intend this event to signal a new collaboration of law enforcement and the faith community, joining forces in Baton Rouge and around the country, to tackle the challenge of making our streets safer and saving lives.

The program will be held at 6 p.m. at the Baton Rouge Marriott, 5500 Hilton Drive.
