ATLANTA - A local police program aimed at lowering juvenile crimes will be expanding in Atlanta after seeing success in its first year.

Channel 2 Action News was at the Atlanta Police Foundation’s “Crime is Toast” breakfast as Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced two new locations of the At-Promise Youth and Community Center.

"We cannot arrest our way out of juvenile crimes," Bottoms said Tuesday at the Georgia World Congress Center.

Instead of looking at younger people as "at risk," Atlanta police are leading with hope for brighter futures with the program.
“I never had a real father figure in my life. But then they introduced me to Officer Moore. He showed me a lot,” said Javarius Middlebrooks, who participates in the program.

Awesome! Glad to see they are finding a positive way to prevent crime. It's so important to have a stable family.

Good. A lot of kids can be saved from a life of crime if they can just have the right leadership to help them and steer them onto a better path.
