VALDOSTA, Ga. (WALB) - Citizens Against Violence in Valdosta has constructed two new teams to patrol high-crime neighborhoods in the hopes of improving safety throughout the city.

Patrolman Glenn Bridges says, his main goal is to help recruit younger kids to give them a positive outlook on the community they live in.

"Once they see me doing something positive about the neighborhood, they will come forth and help me join as one," said Bridges. "One company, one business and neighborhood, clean-up all the crime we have."

Citizens Against Violence will have its next meeting at the Valdosta-Lowndes Park and Recreation Center on April 9 at 6:30 p.m.
