Crime Gun Intelligence Center Expansion

The National Crime Gun Intelligence Center Initiative, administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) in partnership with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), provides funding through a competition grant program to support multidisciplinary teams to identify perpetrators, connect criminal activity, sources of crime guns for immediate disruption, investigation, and prosecution. The focus of this effort is to create and sustain Crime Gun Intelligence Centers (CGIC) in jurisdictions that produce timely and actionable information focusing the efforts of its partners- including police, prosecutors, and forensic experts- on identifying criminal activity and perpetrators.
