The Pompano Beach community is set to come together in a significant city hall meeting led by Mayor Rex Hardin and Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony to tackle the pressing issue of gun violence that has been plaguing the streets of their community. The special session, announced by the City of Pompano Beach, is scheduled for April 16th at the E. Pat Larkins Community Center.

Mayor Hardin stirred the City Commission on March 26th, calling for an assembly to face the bullets, the pain, the unrest, to offer solace and possibly solutions to residents whom the specter of gun violence cast its long shadow over and in a statement obtained by the City's press arm, announced that the meeting will commence April 16th, at 5:30 p.m. This community meeting invites feedback, concerns, and voices from those directly in gun violence's path.

For residents on edge, this meeting represents more than just bureaucratic chatter; it serves as a potential turning point in the narrative of their besieged locality.

Addressing the concerns over safety and rising public fear, Sheriff Tony will engage the populace eager for transparency and direct action, his presence an assurance that the issues will not be silenced or shelved, akin to past promises but rather confronted with the full force of the Broward County Sheriff's office. The community meeting is open to all residents who seek to heal, question, and understand the forces driving the violence that disrupts their peace with the expectation of unity, concrete measures, and a detailed plan of action in response to this surge in local gun crimes and follows a string of incidents that brought the city's safety into sharp focus.

More details about the meeting can be found on the City's official website.
