Federal Gun Cases & Suspects Just Spiraling Up to Record Numbers
DOJ Criminal Court Cases Press Releases Spiking to Record Numbers with Gun Violence & Gun Crime
In following these press releases now for ten years the Daily has never seen this number of criminal cases before. Well over tripling the number of cases and suspects charged with a variety of crimes.

From stealing guns, to trafficking, to ghost guns, manufacturing, burglaries of gun shops and pawn shops and stealing from gun dealers.

The federal efforts in conjunction with their local counterparts are producing cases and the fact of the matter is that the spike in crimes themselves is also generating the HUGE increase. With the Project Safe Neighborhood program (PSN), the OCDETF Tasks Forces, and ATF's new National Crime Gun Intelligence Centers (CGIC) launched in 26 cities, and the numerous Violent Gang Task Forces nationwide.

In one half single day 7/9/2021 the DOJ reported 25 gun cases and 44 suspects.

What is a Crime Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC)?
CGICs are an interagency collaboration focused on the immediate collection, management, and analysis of crime gun evidence, such as shell casings, in real time, in an effort to identify shooters, disrupt criminal activity, and to prevent future violence. CGICs rely on an ongoing collaboration between the ATF, local police department, the local crime laboratory, probation and parole, local police gang units, prosecuting attorneys, U.S. Attorney’s Office, crime analysts, community groups, and academic organizations.
