Violence in East Baton Rouge is showing no signs of slowing after the deadliest January on record.
During a news conference Tuesday, Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome introduced a new initiative to combat gun violence called 'Project Safe Neighborhoods.'
As part of the program, an organization named C.H.A.N.G.E. plans to walk around neighborhoods hit hard with crime and pass out flyers showcasing resources available, as well as provide gun locks to anyone who needs one.
C.H.A.N.G.E. will be visiting the Dixie area this Saturday and Eden Park on February 20.
