The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) was awarded a $700,000 Project Grant under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (CFDA 16.738) by the Bureau of Justice Assistance to establish a Crime Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC). The LASD CGIC will partner with several local and federal agencies to focus on reducing gang-related shootings and murders in the Century and Compton station areas. Funding will support personnel, equipment, supplies, training, and information systems to enhance the LASD's ability to investigate, prosecute, and prevent gun-related crimes in these high-crime areas. The CGIC is expected to streamline the prosecution of these cases by centralizing them under the Compton branch of the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

The LOS angeles county sheriffs department (LASD) operation safe streets bureau (OSS) will partner with the LASD scientific services bureau (SSB), LASD major crimes bureau armed and prohibited persons system (MCB-APPS) task force, LOS angeles county department of probation, LOS angeles county district attorneys (LADA) compton branch office and the LOS angeles field office of the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives to form a crime gun intelligence center (CGIC) for the sheriffs department. The geographical areas of focus for the LASD CGIC will be those areas serviced by the century and compton LASD stations as these areas have experienced the most significant increase in gang-related shootings and murders over the last several years. Narrowing the area of focus to these two areas also allows all cases worked by the LASD CGIC group to be filed with the compton branch of the LADA, streamlining the prosecution of these cases.
