GPAC

The Goldsboro Partners Against Crime is an initiative which consist of a partnership between the Goldsboro Police Department, Court System, and community partners interested in using resources and strategies to assist individuals in making a change and reduce crime.

Goldsboro Partners Against Crime (GPAC) targets crime and builds community resources and strong public bonds as the key factor in helping individuals to disassociate from criminal misconduct. The GPAC provides individuals a “second chance” with assistance from their family and the community. We assist by confronting individuals who are involved in crime, offering individuals help in turning their lives in a positive direction and supporting the prosecution process if the individuals re-offend and return to crime and violence.

This initiative is not a strategy to forgive individuals for violent crime committed in the past. It is a promise to vigorously prosecute repeat offenders who continue to engage in criminal activity. This plan creates clear, predictable sanctions against those who commit violent crime, offers a range of services to help individuals, and focused family and community standards against violent crime and on known violent offenders. It is an offer by the community to assist those who engage incriminal activity to change their lifestyles by delivering resources available in Goldsboro.

Our goal is to improve the quality of life for residents of the City of Goldsboro by employing a comprehensive, collaborative, data driven, strategic approach to ending identified criminal activity and violence.
