""There's so much violence happening right before spring and summer come. Now is the opportunity to have the clergy outside the four walls and being in the street.""
""The patrol is a proactive approach centered on prevention, support, and visibility-particularly for families impacted by violence.""
The Clergy Community Patrol has been launched in Brooklyn to address rising violence. Trained faith leaders will engage in daily patrols in crime-affected neighborhoods. Approximately two dozen members have undergone training in conflict resolution and community engagement. The initiative responds to recent violent incidents, including a fatal shooting. Rev. Kevin McCall emphasizes the urgency of the patrol's timing as spring and summer approach, highlighting the need for clergy presence in the community to support families affected by violence.
