INDIANAPOLIS Law enforcement, faith leaders and youth mentorship organizations are collaborating to reduce youth gun violence for National Faith & Blue weekend.

IMPD, Lawrence Police, OPHS and community groups like New B.O.Y and Inner Beauty encouraged teens to get involved on Friday evening.

They hosted an overnight lock-in event at New Revelation Christian Church to help strengthen relationships between young people and law enforcement.

We have a lot of young people that will be in this space tonight that have engaged with law enforcement in a negative way," New B.O.Y. Founder Kareem Hines said. "Some of our young people in this space have been locked up by some of the authorities in this space."

One of those people was Cameron Washington, who was court ordered to come to New B.O.Y.
