Fayetteville Law enforcement debut new gun violence education software

Fayetteville Police Chief Gina Hawkins listens to audience members Thursday night after the debut of "The Crux," an educational film that will be shown to Cumberland County middle schoolers to teach about gun violence.

A locally generated educational movie that explores issues facing today’s teens debuted Thursday night time with a red-carpet affair at AMC Theater Fayetteville on Lake Valley Drive. 

Created in partnership with Project Safe and sound Neighborhoods and the Fayetteville Law enforcement Department’s Educating Young children about Gun Violence software, “The Crux” explores concerns from sexting and guns to the consequences of parental demise and illustrates the alternatives that numerous teens encounter and the repercussions of all those conclusions.

The 35-moment movie will be shown in middle school school rooms districtwide as part of a presentation from a group of law enforcement officers and detectives along with photographs, case situations, personal tales and modest group conversations.

The objective of the film, in accordance to a news launch from the Fayetteville Law enforcement Section, is to “teach learners about the professional medical, lawful, and emotional effects of gun possession, gang-related violence, and the positive options readily available.”
