George Dawson knows a little something about street violence.
He knows all too well what the people of Chester are dealing with, the routine sound of gunfire at night.
That’s because Dawson, the new head of the county’s Anti-Violence Task Force, and an assistant district attorney, carries a little reminder of street violence around with him.
It’s a bullet lodged in his chest, just inches from his heart.
Met Dawson, and his plan to fight violence, in Part II of staff writer Rose Quinn’s three-part series, “Life & Crimes in Chester.”

If anyone knows what the people of Chester are dealing with, it is Dawson.
He faces a huge task. You might say he has the "heart" for it.
