Syracuse Truce is a partnership of law enforcement, social services, and the citizens most affected by the violence.

"Syracuse Truce" is an innovative collaboration between law enforcement and community service agencies to reduce gun crime and gang violence. If someone in your group engages in gun violence, the entire group will be held responsible.

Community members from across Syracuse have joined with city, county, state, and federal officials to group related gun violence. Syracuse Law Enforcement has identified the street groups who are responsible for much of the city's violence. Several dozen neighborhood leaders and activists are delivering the message to these groups:

The level of violence in our city is unacceptable and it must stop!

Consequences for those who won't stop will be severe.

Immediate help is available for those who choose a different way of life!!

The message is clear:

THE KILLING MUST STOP!

Law Enforcement has new rules and punishment is severe.

But, there is help if you want it.
