The Brief The first ever Youth Impact Fest brought together D.C. police and young residents. The Youth Impact Fest came as law enforcement continues to address youth takeovers. D.C. police officers set aside their standard patrol duties Friday to gather with young residents and their families for the first-ever Youth Impact Fest. For young residents, the festival offered an opportunity to discuss the cause of youth disruption. Organizers hope that events like Youth Impact Fest will serve as a continuous platform for open dialogue and give D.C. teens a safe outlet and constructive alternative during the summer.
