MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee's Police Department says Operation Summer Guardian is underway.
MPD tells us they began this summer's initiative over the Memorial Day weekend. This is its third year.
The goal is to reduce gun violence in the city by increasing police presence in 27 of the city's neighborhoods.
MPD says they identified hotspots by analyzing data across the city to create hot spots using shots fired calls, shootings and homicides.
The department says this summer's focus will be on enforcing curfews and parental responsibility.
