Weekly, the B.U.C.K. Squad records the interactions that correspond to calls received via our Hotline established to receive confidential calls to prevent violence from occurring, or to de-escalate any possible threats.

In addition to gun violence prevention, we have recovered missing kids and intervened in domestic situations. We aim to keep the community safe from harm overall.
