Strategy
VCIT takes a six-point approach for reducing violent crime:
- Use technology and human intelligence to identify geographic areas with violent firearms crime
- Identify the worst violent offenders, support for criminal organizations, and armed career criminals
- Use criminal investigations and investigative tools to disrupt criminal activity
- Arrest and prosecute individuals and associates in federal or state jurisdiction looking at maximum penalty
- Work with community leaders to develop a valuable commitment between the community residents and law enforcement
- Evaluate results regularly to assess VCIT progress toward achieving the goals
