City of St. Petersburg, St. Petersburg Police Department (SPPD) Crime Gun Intelligence Integration Project

The City of St. Petersburg is submitting this proposal to create a Crime Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC) Initiative.  A CGIC is the next step in interagency collaboration with immediate collection, management, and analysis of crime gun evidence to identify suspects who are involved firearm violence, disrupt criminal activity, and prevent future violence. St. Petersburg Police Department (SPPD) will lead this project with local law enforcement partners. SPPD is uniquely qualified to lead due to its longstanding partnership with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and significant use of National Integrated Ballistics Information Network/Integrated Ballistics Information System (NIBIN/IBIS).
