A team of dedicated federal prosecutors work to help take violent offenders out of neighborhoods every day with stiff federal sentences where no chance of parole exists. The three year-old program has built upon its successes in the Eastern District of Michigan and is now expanding based upon the need for all agencies to collaborate in order to create, implement and sustain a long-term gun and gang violence prevention campaign. 1.800.ATF.GUNS is the official tip line of Project Safe Neighborhoods for the community to use to report felons with guns, gun crimes, illegal gun sales and illegal gun trafficking. The U.S. Attorney is committed to leading the initiative and working with the ten law enforcement agencies and the community to make a real difference in Detroit.
