Gun Crime |
New National Crime Gun Intelligence Center Initiative
The National Crime Gun Intelligence Center Initiative
supports local multidisciplinary teams in their efforts to prevent violent crime by identifying perpetrators, linking criminal activities, and identifying sources of crime guns for immediate disruption, investigation, and prosecution. This work is conducted as a part of the Crime Gun Intelligence Centers (CGICs), an innovative and collaborative concept developed by the Denver Police Department and the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
(ATF). 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 prevent future violence.

The Intelligence-Driven Prosecution Model: A Case Study in the New York County District Attorney’s Office
The Intelligence-Driven Prosecution Model (IDPM), designed and implemented by the New York County District Attorney’s Office (DANY), is a prosecutorial strategy rooted in the rigorous collection of background information about the people, places, and problems driving crime in specific neighborhoods. Through enhanced information gathering—including close coordination with local law enforcement and robust community outreach—the IDPM intends to facilitate improved prosecutorial decision making. Technology-centered intelligence collection that focuses on specific people and places driving crime adds a unique dimension to data analysis. With funding from the U.S. Bureau of Justice Assistance, a study was conducted to document how the IDPM operates and explore the model’s implementation and effects in New York County, known more widely as the borough of Manhattan.
