(4) The Safe Long Beach Violence Prevention plan was adopted in May 2014 by the Long Beach City Council to address a broad safety agenda aimed at reducing all forms of violence, including domestic abuse, child abuse, elder abuse, hate crimes, bullying, gang violence, and violent crime. Safe Long Beach draws upon the city's many existing assets to target violence at its root and build a safer Long Beach by 2020. The Trauma Induced Task Force of Long Beach (TITFLB) is an integral part of establishing Long Beach as a trauma-informed city. In its first year, the TITFLB established a framework for acceptance, engagement, and promotion of trauma-informed approached for the City of Long Beach, and continues to be an integral part of establishing Long Beach as a trauma-informed city.
