Communities dealing with gun violence should consider this funding opportunity for Crime Gun Intelligence Centers, to either establish one or if you have one to obtain funding to continue it. bja.ojp.gov/funding/opport…

Takes me way back.

Imagine for a moment…you are driving around at work and you are shot for no reason other than your profession. That is exactly what happened to a brave Chicago PD Sgt who was shot last night simply driving in his patrol car. The Sgt was struck in the leg and able to self transport to the hospital, thankfully expected to make a full recovery. The dirtbag who shot the Sgt has been taken into custody. This is the reality for law enforcement in 2026 in America…shot simply for the uniform we wear. It’s despicable…

How Did L.A. Police Solve So Many Killings in 2025? As their clearance rate climbed, perhaps so did community support & likelihood that witnesses would cooperate. Good article about homicide investigation by LAPD. governing.com/management-and…

That Mamdani is keeping ⁦@NYPDPC⁩ Jessica Tisch as NYPD commissioner is excellent news. And that her cops heard it from her first was a class act. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/m…

I keep saying this: violence reduction is a team sport. All the players have to work together to be successful. No one can win on their own. Let's keep that in mind as we continue to celebrate this incredible progress we're seeing across the country.
