City of detroit firearm access intervention & reduction project

The City of Detroit was awarded a $499,631 cooperative agreement from the Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Office on Violence Against Women to implement the City of Detroit Firearm Access Intervention & Reduction Project from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025.

The project aims to improve the criminal justice response to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking through activities such as assisting with improving arrest policies and enforcement of protection orders. These activities will be delivered under the Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Program (CFDA 16.590), which provides funding to support States, tribes, and local governments in enhancing victim safety and offender accountability. The cooperative agreement funding will support the City of Detroit's efforts to reduce access to firearms for perpetrators of domestic violence and related offenses through interventions and other strategies.
