WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch is making her first official visit to Delaware.
 
The nation's highest ranking law enforcement official is in Wilmington on Monday to focus on juvenile justice and the effects of crime on children.
 
She will be joined by U.S. Sen. Chris Coons during a town hall meeting with community leaders on juvenile justice at the Delaware Historical Society in downtown Wilmington.
 
Lynch and Coons will then visit the Wilmington Police Department to see recent advancements in technology and training made possible by the Violence Reduction Network. From there, they will tour New Castle County's Children's Advocacy Center.
 
Coons said in a statement that he is "honored" to show Lynch how the state is using federal resources to promote public safety.
