The success of this strategy is clear, with record-low gun violence in Brooklyn last year, and continued progress this year.
For too long, Road 2 Riches gang members have terrorized neighborhoods in Brooklyn - unleashing gunfire in broad daylight, on busy streets and near schools.
This year alone, the NYPD has conducted more than 40 gang-related takedowns and taken more than 230 illegal guns off the streets.
