Sgt. J. Dempsey with the Portsmouth Police Department's Gang Unit leads a presentation Thursday, March 5, 2020, at Waters Middle School in Portsmouth, Va. Dempsey, who has worked in the gang unit for more than a decade, said police have always seen some young kids involved in gangs, but what’s happening now is different. Gang members are much younger than Dempsey said he’s ever seen before. (Stephen M. Katz/The Virginian-Pilot via AP)
