The initiative to prioritize Brooklyn under Section 1103 of the Violence Against Women Act aims to reduce intimate partner gun violence by prosecuting domestic violence offenders who illegally possess firearms.
U.S. Attorney Breon Peace stated, 'My office will continue to use every tool and resource available to address domestic violence in our communities and hold violent actors accountable.' This underscores the commitment to combat domestic violence through robust partnerships.
The partnership with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) represents a focused effort to prosecute those prohibited from owning firearms, contributing to the broader fight against domestic violence.
The designation of Brooklyn as a priority community highlights a strategic plan to utilize federal resources and legal tools, emphasizing comprehensive collaboration with local authorities to effectively combat domestic violence.
