CeaseFire, Violence Intervention on the Streets

Enlace Chicago implements CeaseFire in Little Village which is the ’The Campaign to Stop the Shooting’. CeaseFire is a strategic public health strategy to reduce and prevent shootings and killings in Chicago and other communities in Illinois with a high burden of homicide. 

The CeaseFire Program Manager facilitates the implementation of the CeaseFire model and the management of the CeaseFire team, by playing key role in operationalizing the five core components of the CeaseFire approach—outreach, community mobilization, public education, faith leader involvement and relationship with local law enforcement representatives—and the adoption of CeaseFire best practices.
