About the Program

Project Safe Neighborhoods is a nationwide program to reduce gun violence, adaptable to local circumstances, that was launched in 2001 by President Bush and Attorney General John Ashcroft.

The cornerstone of the Northern District of Illinois' local program is that every state defendant with a gun will be reviewed for possible federal prosecution. The aim of the program is inform repeat offenders that they risk federal prosecution and imprisonment for weapons violations.
