Introduction

The Department of Justice and Public Safety has received funding from Public Safety Canada’s Gun and Gang Violence Action Fund (GGVAF) to support New Brunswick’s five-year plan on gun and gang violence. The objective of the GGVAF is to enhance efforts to prevent, disrupt and combat gun and gang violence, and increase awareness and understanding of related issues. The GGVAF Terms and Conditions permit the Department to redistribute funds to eligible organizations to support activities that link directly to New Brunswick’s five-year plan on gun and gang violence and GGVAF objectives and expected results.

New Brunswick’s five-year plan on gun and gang violence complements the Department’s Crime Prevention and Reduction Strategy and Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Strategy. It will focus on better understanding the nature of gun and gang violence in New Brunswick and collaborating with partners and stakeholders to develop and implement an evidence-based strategic plan that addresses existing, emerging and underlying gun and gang violence and related issues through knowledge development, prevention, intervention, and suppression activities. Expected outcomes are an increase in the implementation of informed initiatives to respond to gun and gang violence in New Brunswick and a decrease in gun and gang violence.
