Henderson Police Department North Central Piedmont CGIC Project

The Local Law Enforcement Crime Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC) Integration Initiative, administered by BJA in partnership with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), is a competitive grant program that provides funding to state and local government entities that are experiencing precipitous increases in gun-related violent crime. The purpose of this initiative is to support local and tribal jurisdictions’ capacity to work with their ATF partners to utilize intelligence, technology, and community engagement to swiftly identify firearms used unlawfully and their sources, and effectively prosecute perpetrators engaged in violent crime.

The Henderson Police Department will be implementing a business practice to utilize crime gun intelligence and develop a regional CGIC with its surrounding rural law enforcement partners. It will purchase a NIBIN machine for its region and is committing additional resources for a functioning CGIC through its department.
