"Our leadership, ADAs and support staff are committed to the personal experiences and recommendations of Philadelphia's residents, crime victims, victims of mass incarceration, advocates and other stakeholders as we try to find a path forward," Krasner said.
The first town hall will take place on June 14 at the Church of Compassion in Cobbs Creek.
