The Gwinnett County Police Department has also begun a multi-dimensional Gun Crime Prevention initiative. While recovering and removing firearms, including stolen firearms, involved in criminal activity has always been a priority for the department, the County Police Force is incorporating a new approach to addressing gun violence in our communities. This includes investigating the firearm’s origins and any other crimes in which it may have been involved.
Community members are encouraged to support this initiative by keeping themselves safe and remaining mindful of common crime prevention skills. Practicing safety measures for yourself and your vehicle while traveling in the district or even in your own driveway can help you avoid being the victim of a car break-in and prevent your property from being used in another crime.
