TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) -
The Tucson Police Department and a group of homeless and homeless advocates sat at a round table in Viente de Augusto Park in downtown Tucson.
Included in the conversation was a director from the Parks and Recreation Department.
The discussion, just days before the Gem Show comes to town, was to set ground rules for the homeless.
During the Gem Show, Tucson will be on the world stage with dealers from all corners of the globe and buyers who follow them.
