Gwinnett County Solicitor-General Brian Whiteside is hosting a multicultural discussion on safeguarding Gwinnett communities at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 13 in the Gwinnett County Justice and Administration Center auditorium, 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville.

Local leaders and members of the public are invited to provide feedback so the Solicitor-General understands how to best serve them.

The Gwinnett County Solicitor’s Office is responsible for the prosecution of all state misdemeanor crimes in the State Court of Gwinnett County and all county ordinance violations (including traffic citations) in the Recorder’s Court of Gwinnett County.

Gwinnett Commissioners have been discussing formally reducing the penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana.
