Wolf signed an executive order that make changes to executive branch agencies and programs to target what he calls "the public health crisis of gun violence in Pennsylvania."
The sweeping initiatives and reforms that the governor is calling for will be overseen by a senior adviser on gun violence reduction position. Wolf appointed Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency chairman and former Philadelphia police commissioner Charles Ramsey to that post. Ramsey will lead a new Office of Gun Violence Prevention within the commission that creates a Special Council on Gun Violence that is tasked with developing a plan to reduce gun violence in the commonwealth.
