13826.15
. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the
implementation of the Gang Violence Suppression Program, as provided
in this chapter, has made a positive impact in the battle against
crimes committed by gang members in California.
(b) The Legislature further finds and declares that the program,
when it was originally created in 1981, provided financial and
technical assistance only for district attorneys' offices. Since that
time, however, the provisions of the program have been amended by
the Legislature to enable additional public entities and
community-based organizations to participate in the program.
