PHILADELPHIA - Officials on Wednesday made their final stop on a two-month listening tour in troubled Philadelphia communities where concerned residents connected with law enforcement leaders on ways to quell violence.

The Community Listening Tour initiative was spearheaded by the Office of Policy and Strategic Initiatives for Criminal Justice & Public Safety.

The goal of the tour was to visit 10 different neighborhoods besieged by crime and violence to hear from community members and exchange ideas.The listening tour also gave people a chance to learn about the Philadelphia's violence prevention work, which is likely due for some adjustments following the conclusion of the initiative. "I won’t know how many tweaks we’ll do until I get an opportunity to really hear and see, but there will be some at least shifts or pivots related to the Roadmap to Safer Communities that will be informed by this process," Senior Director of Criminal Justice and Public Safety Erica Atwood said.Philadelphia recently confirmed plans to expand its Community Crisis Intervention Program with more staffing.

They also say delays in getting promised grant funding to community groups working to prevent violence will be cleared up in under 30 days.Advertisement"We need safety, and we need the police.

High gas prices bring demand for fuel to record lows ahead of peak driving season
LOS ANGELES - Gas prices are so high that demand for fuel during peak driving season this summer is expected to slump, according to experts.According to data by the Energy Information Administration compiled by Bloomberg, demand for gas has hit its lowest level during this time since 2013, excluding the impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, high gas prices have brought demand down by 5%.Gas prices have been hitting fresh records for the past 11 consecutive days amid the energy supply crunch in the U.S., according to the American Automobile Association (AAA), which noted that the stretch of record-high prices as the pump is "unprecedented."Speaking with Fox News Digital, Andrew Gross, the national spokesman for AAA Inc. revealed that drivers should expect elevated prices throughout the summer, especially if the war in Ukraine rages on.The national average for a gallon of gas was $4.59 last week, a slight increase from the day before and a new record high.Thursday’s record was 16 cents higher than the week before, nearly 50 cents higher than the month before and $1.55 more compared to the same time last year.All 50 states had a national retail price over $4 a gallon on Thursday, according to AAA, with Oklahoma offering the cheapest gas at $4.03 a gallon and California offering the most expensive gas with an average of $6.06.
