DEPARTMENT REVIEW
Management and Budget:
Approved by M & B — Lynn Sonkiss 4/21/2022.
The financial capability question #17 response is missing on PDF page 28 of the CGTC grant application package
document. Attached is the document I provided on 4/l /22 which includes the response to question #17 (so not sure how it
was missing). Please update the grant application package with the attached Financial Capability PDF that does contain
all of the appropriate responses.
[Department response]
The financial capability document will need to be included separately from the rest of the packet (I've removed the
document from the attached packet). I've tried to combine the documents twice and it always unchecks #17.
Just as a side note, the document does get loaded as a separate attachment in JustGrants and does not cause that issue. —

Human Resources:
Approved by Human Resources. Creates two (2) positions, so will need HR action upon grant acceptance.- Heather
Mason 4/21/2022
Risk Management:
Application approved by Risk Management. — R.E. 4/21/2022.
Corporation Counsel:
APPROVED by Corporation Counsel. I see no legal issues that need to be address, but I do seek one clarification. On p.
6 of the CGTC Grant App Package, the Proposal requests grant funding for "Detective", but the MR lists an SR FTE
Deputy II — is this the same as the `Detective" or is there a distinction? — Mary Ann Jerge 4/21/2022
[Department response]
We don't have an FIR classification for Detective so from the county perspective they would be the same. — Katie West

Beginning April 4, 2022, the Federal government will cease using the Data Universal
Numbering System (DUNS) number to uniquely identify entities. At that point, entities
doing business with the Federal government will use a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI)
created in SAM.gov. If your entity is currently registered in SAM.gov, your UEI has already
been assigned and is viewable in SAM.gov. This includes inactive registrations. If you are
a new entity registering in SAM.gov, you will continue to register in SAM.gov using the
DUNS number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet (D&B) until April 4, 2022, Upon completing
your registration in SAM.gov, you will be assigned a UEI. For additional information, see
the Unique Entitv Identifier Update and the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide.
IMPORTANT: Grants.gov will transition to UEI at 11:59 p.m. eastern time (ET) on March
31, 2022.
To support this transition, DOJ will update all posted Grants.gov funding opportunity
packages to reflect the use of UEI.

Program Description
overview
OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases
access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system,
strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and
builds trust between law enforcement and the community.
The Local Law Enforcement Crime Gun Intelligence Center Integration Initiative,
administered by BJA in partnership with ATF, is a competitive grant program that provides
funding to state, local, and tribal government entities that are experiencing precipitous
increases in violent gun -related crime.
The purpose of this initiative is to support local and tribal jurisdictions' capacity to work with
their ATF partners to utilize intelligence, technology, and community engagement to swiftly
identify unlawfully used firearms and their sources, and effectively prosecute perpetrators
engaged in violent crime.
Statutory Authority
Funding for this program is anticipated under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG)
Program. The JAG Program authorization provides that up to 5 percent of the funds available to carry out subpart
1 of Title I, Part E of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 ("Omnibus') may be granted,
among other reasons, for one or more of the purposes specified in 34 U.S.C. § 10152 upon a determination that
it is necessary "to combat, address, or otherwise respond to precipitous or extraordinary increases in crime, or in
a type or types of crime." 34 U.S.C. § 10157(b)(1). Any awards under this solicitation would be made under
statutory authority provided by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, Pub, L. No. 116-260, 134 Stat. 1182,
1260.
Specific Information
The applicant must clearly identify how the funding will directly address a precipitous or
extraordinary increase in violent firearm -related crime in its jurisdiction. This could be for
the applicant's entire jurisdiction or for a specific area in the jurisdiction. The applicant
must identify the following:
• Categories or types of firearm -related violent crime that have precipitously
increased within the jurisdiction
• Period of time during which the categories/types of crime increased
• Number of criminal nonfatal shootings and homicides committed with the use of a
firearm
• Volume of firearm violence in the target locality or region
The applicant must clearly state whether funding will be used to develop a new CGIC or to
expand an existing CGIC.
Award recipients will work with ATF to collaborate on the immediate collection,
management, and analysis of crime gun evidence such as shell casings and test fires of
unlawfully used firearms recovered in real time to identify criminal shooters, disrupt
criminal activity, and prevent future violence. If selected, the applicant will be required to
Page 6 of 26
O-BJA-2022-171021
develop a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with ATF outlining the development of a
new CGIC or expansion of existing work. The applicant must include a letter of support
from the local ATF field office with its application. The list of ATF Field Divisions can be
found at httDs://www.atf.aov/contact/atf-field-divisions.
This collaboration will use both ATF's eTrace (Electronic Tracing System), run by the
National Tracing Center, and ATF's National Integrated Ballistics Information Network
(NIBIN), and, if available, the NIBIN National Correlation and Training Center (NNCTC).
NIBIN is the only national network that allows for the capture and comparison of ballistic
evidence to aid in solving and preventing violent crimes involving firearms. NIBIN
technology compares images of submitted ballistic evidence from shooting scenes and
recovered firearms and produces a list of possible similar results. Trained NIBIN
technicians then conduct a correlation review of these results, identifying NIBIN leads or
potential links or associations from the same firearm. eTrace is an internet-based system
that allows participating law enforcement agencies to submit firearm traces to the ATF for
identification. To learn about eTrace, contact ATF's National Tracing Center at
1-800-788-7133, extension 01540, or visit the eTrace homepage at
httos: //etrace. atf. aov/etrace/.
A key component of a CGIC is collaborative meetings with local, state, and federal
partners to review intelligence and information on recent shootings and NIBIN leads. One
of these routine meetings should be dedicated to GunStat, which measures core strategies
and benchmarks that lead to an overall reduction in violent gun -related crime. The GunStat
meeting should include parole and probation and the juvenile supervision agency as
additional partners, and its focus should be to prioritize warrant service, improve
compliance of those gun offenders under supervision, and enforce all relevant gun
Iaws.The partners should also follow up on those gun offenders who have been previously
identified and discuss any new offenders identified through the most recent NIBIN leads.
Note that awardees will receive training and technical assistance provided by BJA at no
cost to the grantee on the GunStat process and should indicate a willingness to implement
it.
In August 2018, ATF's National Crime Gun Intelligence Board released a crime gun best
practices guide that can be found at httas://crimeaunintelcenters.orq/wD-
content/upload s/2018/09/CGI-Manual-Best-Practices-ATF-27-AUG-18.r)df. Also, to learn
more about the initiative generally, visit Crime Gun Intelliaence Center (CGIC) Initiative I
Overview I Bureau of Justice Assistance (oiiD.gov).
Goals, Objectives, Deliverables, and Timeline
Goals
The primary goal of a CGIC is to develop leads that will identify armed violent offenders for
investigation and prosecution.
Objectives
The objective is to adhere to the BJA—ATF CGIC model as outlined in the deliverables
Page 7 of 26
O-BJA-2022-171021
section below, which includes intensive, timely, ongoing collaboration with ATF, local and
tribal police, local crime laboratories, probation and parole, prosecuting attorneys, U.S.
Attorneys' Offices (USAOs), crime analysts, community groups, and academic
organizations.
Deliverables
Awardees are required to provide the following deliverables at the conclusion of their
grants, in accordance with the BJA—ATF CGIC model:
1. A collaborative working group, the CGIC integration team, including
representatives from ATF, local/tribal police, probation and parole, prosecuting
attorneys, USAO, local crime laboratory, crime analysts, community groups, and
academic organizations. This working group will be formed using an MOU
detailing partner roles and responsibilities.
2. A Crime Gun Intelligence Center business process utilizing NIBIN and crime
gun tracing through eTrace, including purchasing appropriate technology, if
necessary. This process includes developing policy that governs a crime scene
response and delivery of forensic evidence to the crime laboratory in a timely
fashion, as well as prioritizes NIBN cases for prosecution. This process should
also incorporate the use of GunStat to support reductions in violent crime and
recidivism by identifying repeat gun offenders and gun -related cases. With
GunStat, law enforcement, prosecution, and community supervision agencies
prioritize these cases through shared data and intelligence as a way to disrupt
the shooting cycle and keep violent offenders off the street.
3. Effective investigations and prosecutions of violent crime involving
feloniously used firearms.
4. Ability to train new staff and criminal justice partners to develop the skills
necessary to effectively investigate and prosecute gun crime.
5. Violent crime prevention strategies in collaboration with community and
nongovernmental organizations.
6. Improved response to gun shots fired.
7. Collection of performance data that reinforce the CGIC goal.
8. A final analysis report describing the CGIC's implementation and outcomes.
The Goals, Objectives, and Deliverables are directly related to the performance measures
that show the completed work's results, as discussed in the Application and Submission
Information section.

Availability of Funds
Page 9 of 26
O-BJA-2022-171021
This solicitation, and awards (if any are made) under this solicitation, are subject to the
availability of appropriated funds and to any modifications or additional requirements that
may be imposed by the agency or by law. In addition, nothing in this solicitation is intended
to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law
or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities,
its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person
Types of Awards
BJA expects to make awards under this solicitation as grants. See the "Administrative,
National Policy, and Other Legal Requirements" section of the OJP Grant Application
Resource Guide for a brief discussion of important statutes, regulations, and award
conditions that apply to many (or in some cases, all) OJP grants (and cooperative
agreements).
Financial Management and System of Internal Controls
Award recipients and subrecipients (including recipients or subrecipients that are pass -
through entities) must, as described in the Part 200 Uniform Requirements as set out at
2 C.F.R. 200.303, comply with standards for financial and program management. See OJP
Grant Application Resource Guide for additional information.
Budget Information
The applicant must clearly delineate the amount of funding requested for personnel and
CGIC integration. The personnel cost could include, but is not limited to, analysts,
investigators, detectives, lab staff, prosecutors, and project coordinators.
A limited amount of funds may be used for technology and equipment such as, but not
limited to, test -fire equipment, NIBIN machines, analytic software, data collection software,
and gunshot detection systems and for costs to implement the NIBIN Enforcement Support
System (NESS).
At least 20 percent of grant funding should be allocated to support the work of local/tribal
prosecutors to ensure they are able to track and prioritize CGIC cases. This funding could
be used for technology or tools for data collection and analysis, because it is critical to
track the final outcome of cases generated from both NIBIN and eTrace leads.

Description of the Issue
The applicant must demonstrate it is experiencing a precipitous increase in violent firearm -
related crime. The applicant must:
Page 12 of 26
O-BJA-2022-171021
I. Identify a firearm -related violent crime or type(s) of violent crime that has
precipitously increased within the jurisdiction.
II. Identify the period of time during which the relevant category of crime increased.
Provide sources such as statistics, research findings, or other objective evidence, as
appropriate, substantiating the claimed increase. The applicant must document both
Uniform Crime Report (UCR) and population data. The applicant must describe how its
jurisdiction has experienced a precipitous increase in violent crime and the challenges
associated with said increase.
Program Desiqn
The applicant must detail how it will dedicate resources to implement the objective and
essential elements of the CGIC model to create a comprehensive approach to addressing
violent crime and felonious firearm use in its jurisdiction. Additionally, the applicant must
detail how it will implement the deliverables listed in the Program Description section. The
applicant should detail how it will work with specific law enforcement entities, probation
and parole, crime laboratory, community organizations, and other stakeholder groups
within the jurisdiction to ensure new policies and procedures are implemented that ensure
the immediate collection, management, and analysis of illegal gun -related evidence, such
as shell casings, in real time in an effort to identify shooters, disrupt criminal activity, and
prevent future violence.
The applicant should specifically describe how its jurisdiction will meet the following
criteria:
• Use a NIBIN machine that would support timely entry of all firearm -related
evidence casings and test -fire casings, correlations, lead generation, and lead
notification (or if the jurisdiction has a preexisting lab, please refer to it).
• Utilize the ATF NNCTC to review NIBIN entries and determine NIBIN hits, if
available. Requests to join NNCTC must be made through the applicant's local
ATF field office.
• All CGIC-participating local or tribal law enforcement agencies are expected to
detail a task force officer (TFO) to the local ATF field office for assignment to
ATF enforcement groups or, if the ATF is the primary CGIC coordinator, directly
to the CGIC. The TFO should partner with ATF agents to conduct NIBIN- and
eTrace-related investigations, target NIBIN/eTrace offenders, develop and
analyze NIBIN/eTrace intelligence, and assist ATF with firearms trafficking and
straw purchase investigations.
• Prioritize NIBIN through GunStat.
• Establish an ATF eTrace account(s) to trace recovered crime guns. (If the
applicant does not have an existing account, please contact the local ATF field
office to establish an account.)
Page 13 of 26
O-BJA-2022-171021
• Develop a process for comprehensive crime gun tracing.
• Demonstrate a partnership with the appropriate district attorney's office (or office
responsible for prosecuting criminal cases in the proposed CGIC area) and work
with ATF to get a commitment from the USAO to strategically accept and
prosecute cases coming from the CGIC program. (Letters from these offices
indicating their commitment to participate in CGIC will strengthen the application
and can be included as attachments.) Also, a reminder that 20 percent of the
budget should be focused on prosecution.
Through an MOU, demonstrate commitment to process firearm evidence with
the appropriate crime lab following the required timeframes consistent with the
CGIC model.
The applicant must describe specifically how the project will be accomplished by providing
the expected objective and the performance measures applicable to this initiative. Include
a comprehensive timeline (as an attachment) that identifies milestones, numerically lists
deliverables, and identifies who is responsible for each activity.
The application should clearly describe how the CGIC will accomplish the following:
• Comprehensive collection of evidence
o Evidence from all shooting incidents accepted for entry and correlation.
Routine NIBIN entries must be free from fee -for -service restrictions.
Policies and procedures must be in place to minimize latent print and DNA
demands on routine submittals for NIBIN entry only.
• Timeliness
Streamline NIBIN-only cases to allow for lead notifications to be issued
within 24-48 hours from evidence submission by using:
Evidence intake procedures that minimize the administrative time
required for submitting evidence.
Technician input of shooting evidence and test fires prior to full firearm
examination.
• Release of unconfirmed NIBIN leads to the CGIC team.
Establish the following priority of evidence submissions into NIBIN:
1. Current/recent fired cartridge casing evidence
2. Current/recent test fires of crime guns
3. Backlogged fired cartridge casing evidence
4. Backlogged test fires of crime guns
• Follow-up
Page 14 of 26
O-BJA-2022-171021
Establish policies and procedures that ensure notifications are effectively
disseminated in a timely manner. Ideally, they could be fed to a single
liaison who would ensure all interested parties are notified.
Establish policies and procedures that ensure accountability for follow-up
investigations and working with prosecutors.
• Feedback loop
o Conduct monthly review meetings with stakeholders.
o Establish a means of feedback to the NIBIN site.
o Establish a policy requiring successes to be communicated to the NIBIN site
for dissemination.
Technological devices, artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, and other data -driven
solutions ("Technological Enhancements") are increasingly used to augment crime
reduction strategies and efforts. Care must be taken to assess and address any potential
harm that could be activated by these solutions to ensure privacy, civil rights, and civil
liberties are protected. Applicants proposing to utilize grant funds to support technological
enhancements directly or via training and technical assistance may receive priority
consideration if their proposal addresses the tenants of digital trust such as:
How the technology will be carefully implemented through training of personnel and
the setting and enforcement of policies governing its use to ensure that it contributes
to positive outcomes for public safety, the community and/or the criminal justice
system.
• How the applicant will safeguard privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties throughout the
duration of the project period.
Capabilities and Competencies
The applicant must clearly detail the expected or established structure of the collaborative
team. Include a list of the key team members and describe the role of each. The applicant

Dear Director Moore:
I write this letter in relation to the grant proposal being submitted by the Oakland County
Sheriff's Office (OCSO). The proposal seeks funding via the BJA Crime Gun Intelligence Center
Integration Initiative. ATF has a strong partnership with OCSO to include their crime lab which
houses a premier NIBIN site located in Pontiac, Michigan. ATF's NNCTC performs correlation
reviews for this lab. Regarding NIBIN discipline, the Oakland County Lab was the first lab in the
country to be MROS (Minimum Required Operating Standards) compliant and it remains MROS
compliant today.
ATF Detroit has recently assigned two Special Agents full time to the area of operation
with five-(5) additional Agents working crimes affecting the region collaboratively with the OCSO
on a violence reduction initiative in Pontiac. This initiative requires collaboration with other law
enforcement, prosecutorial partners (including the U.S. Attorney's Office and Oakland County
Prosecutors' Office), and community members. ATF will continue to work directly with OCSO
and other partners to identify shooters and their sources of crime guns, disrupt criminal activity,
and prevent future violence. ATF will work with OCSO to develop an MOU.

Proposal Abstract
FY 2022 Local Law Enforcement Crime Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC) Integration
Initiative
Oakland County Sheriffs Office— Pontiac CGIC
The Oakland County Sheriffs Office (OCSO) in collaboration with the Oakland County
Prosecuting Attorney (OCPA) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms (ATF) are
requesting FY2022 Local Law Enforcement Crime Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC) Integration
Initiative grant funding to forni a CGIC to address the fireami-related violent crime that has
precipitously increased within the City of Pontiac over the last few years. Grant funding will
provide the capacity for Oakland County to work the local ATE partners to utilize intelligence,
technology, and community engagement to swiftly identify unlawfully used firearms and their
sources, and effectively prosecute perpetrators engaged in violent crime.
The City of Pontiac, Michigan has 61,606 residents and is located a short distance from Detroit
and Flint. The City has contracted with the OCSO for law enforcement services since 2011. Gun
Crime and Seizures in Pontiac have grown exponentially over the last few years and the OCSO
requested the assistance of the ATF in 2021. The ATF's assistance has been beneficial, but the
creation of a CGIC for the City of Pontiac would include the collaboration of the OCSO, OCPA,
ATF, crime lab, probation and parole, U.S. Attorney's Offices, community groups and academic
organizations.
A CGIC is an interagency collaboration focused on the timely collection, management, and
analysis of gun crime evidence, such as shell casings and semiautomatic handguns, using the
_e 112
Proposal Abstract
National Integrated Ballistics Information Network (NIB IN) and the Electronic Tracing System
(eTrace). The CGIC process occurs in real time to identify serial shooters, disrupt criminal
activity, and prevent future gun violence. The primary goal of the CGIC will be to develop leads
that will identify armed violent offenders for investigation and prosecution. Other outcomes
include the identification of crime gun sources, efficient resource allocation, providing decision
makers with the most accurate gun crime data available, and increased public safety.
The grant application requests funding for a Detective in the Sheriffs Office assigned solely to
firearm -related related crimes in Pontiac, and a Paralegal in the Prosecuting Attorney's Office
that will assist with tracking and prioritizing CGIC cases, as well as assist with the formation of a
Crime Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC), coordinate with all other representatives/agencies and be
responsible for planning all CGIC meetings and be responsible for gathering the necessary
information to report the performance measure data.

Proposal Narrative
FY 2022 Local Law Enforcement Crime Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC) Integration
Initiative
Oakland County Sheriff's Office — Pontiac CGIC
Description of Issue:
The City of Pontiac has 61,606 residents (U.S. Census Bureau, Population Census April 1, 2020)
and is located in Oakland County, Michigan, a short distance from Detroit and Flint Michigan.
Pontiac has contracted with Oakland County Sheriff's Office for law enforcement services since
2011.
Beginning in 2021, Pontiac experienced a large uptick in drive -by shootings and homicides due
to an influx of weapons coming into the city. In 2021, Pontiac had 15 homicides along with 107
drive -by shootings. Of the 107 drive -by shootings, all were firearm related ranging from .22
caliber up to .556 and .762 caliber. 57 of the drive -by shootings incidents resulted in victims
sustaining gunshot wounds and 49 of the incidents resulted in no injuries to citizens but did result
in property damage. The OCSO Pontiac substation recovered 138 firearms in 2021, including
AKA 47 rifles, assault rifles and various types of handguns. In 2021, the OCSO responded to
over 66,000 calls for service throughout Pontiac, which has hindered the ability of the deputies to
be more proactive with the gun crimes.
In the Fall of 2021, OCSO meet with the Oakland County Prosecutors Office (OCPO) and the
U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Fireanns and Explosives (ATF) regarding the spike in violent
crimes involving firearms. As a result, the ATF offered to assign two agents to the OCSO
Pontiac Substation to conduct "quick hit" or short-term investigation on possible targets in
Pontiac, but no long-term investigation.
Proposal Narrative
The Detective Bureau assigned to the OCSO Pontiac Substation is assisting the ATF as much as
possible, but there has been no formal task force or CGIC created to effectively address the issue.
Currently in 2022, there have been 4 homicides in the City of Pontiac, the most recent a 7-year-
old girl who was shot and killed in a drive -by shooting of a vehicle. There have also been 23
other drive -by shootings, including 10 incidents resulting in injuries. The drive -by shootings and
homicides have increased for the first three months of 2022 compared to 2021. Year to date, 45
firearms have been recovered which shows a significant increase of firearms being distributed
throughout the city.

Proposal Narrative
Proeram Design:
OCSO is requesting grant funding for the addition of a Detective to exclusively work on firearm -
related crimes in the City of Pontiac and would be the Task Force Officer (TFO) to the local
ATF field office for assignment to ATF enforcement groups. With the current level of calls for
service in the City of Pontiac and the precipitous increase in violent fireartn-related crime, there
is an extraordinary need for this position to be entirely dedicated to investigating these crimes
and partner with the ATF agents to conduct NIBIN and eTrace related investigations, target
NIBIN/eTrace offenders, develop and analyze NIBIN/eTrace intelligence, and assist the ATF
with firearms trafficking and straw purchase investigations. The Oakland County Prosecuting
Attorney is requesting a Paralegal position to assist the Prosecuting Attorney with tracking and
prioritizing CGIC cases. The Paralegal will assist with the formation of a Crime Gun Intelligence
Center (CGIC), coordinate with all other representatives/agencies and be responsible for
planning all CGIC meetings; this position will also be responsible for gathering the necessary
information to report the performance measure data.
A CGIC is an interagency collaboration focused on the timely collection, management, and
analysis of gun crime evidence, such as shell casings and semiautomatic handguns, using the
National Integrated Ballistics Information Network (NIBIN) and the Electronic Tracing System
(eTrace). The CGIC process occurs in real time to identify serial shooters, disrupt criminal
activity, and prevent future gun violence. The primary goal of the CGIC will be to develop leads
that will identify armed violent offenders for investigation and prosecution.
Other outcomes include the identification of crime gun sources, efficient resource allocation,
providing decision makers with the most accurate gun crime data available, and increased public
safety.
: 3112
Proposal Narrative
Coupled with effective evidenced -based interventions such as Focused Deterrence and Hot Spot
Policing, CGIC efforts decrease the number of shootings in a given community, improve the
quality of gun crime investigations, increase clearance rates, and impactful prosecutorial
outcomes; and increase public trust and confidence in law enforcement through meaningful
community engagement. CGICs use forensic evidence- not race, socioeconomic status or other
factors to drive investigations and identify offenders. These centers are an intensive, ongoing,
collaborative partnership between the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
(ATE), local police, crime/forensic laboratories, probation and parole, police gang units,
prosecutors, the U.S. Attorney's Office, crime analysts, community groups, and academics. The
role of each partner is equally as important as the next. To maintain effectiveness and
sustainability, each partner must dedicate sufficient resources and personnel to the CGIC effort.
If awarded, OCSO will receive training and technical assistance from the Bureau of Justice
Assistance (BJA) on the GunStat process and once trained will implement the process. GunStat
measures core strategies and benchmarks that lead to overall reduction in violent gun -related
crime. OCSO will work with the ATE to collaborate on the immediate collection, management,
and analysis of crime gun evidence.
The OCSO Pontiac Substation, including the Detective assigned to the firearm -related crimes,
will collaborate with the ATF, crime lab, probation and parole, the Oakland County Prosecutor's
Office, U.S. Attorney's Offices, community groups and academic organizations to develop a new
CGIC.
As part of this process, OCSO will develop a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with
agency partners, including the ATE, outlining the development of a new CGIC.
4112
Proposal Narrative
In a 2014 Police Chief Magazine article titled "Denver Crime Gun Intelligence Center: Locked
On Target," the Denver Colorado Police Department shared their experience creating the Denver
Crime Gun Intelligence Center and what they considered to be essential elements of a CGIC. The
CGIC created for the City of Pontiac would use these same elements as a starting point and
modify the concept to fit the needs of Pontiac. The eight essential elements include:
1. Utilization of Effective Gun Investigation Teams and Contractor Support
The CGIC partner agencies can be classified or operated as two separate teams, the executive
team and the tactical team. Key strategic and tactical stakeholders are identified, and resources
committed based on shared priorities and formalized by memorandums of understanding
(MOUs).
The executive team would be comprised of lead officials from each of the partnering agencies
who would meet quarterly to set strategic priorities and operational policies to review
performance. A key component of a CGIC is collaborative meetings with local, state, and federal
partners to review intelligence and information on recent shootings and NIBIN leads.
The collaboration would use both ATF's eTrace (Electronic Tracing System), run by the
National Tracing Center, and ATF's National Integrated Ballistics Information Network
(NIBIN), and, if available, the NIBIN National Correlation and Training Center (NNCTC).
NIBIN is the only national network that allows for the capture and comparison of ballistic
evidence to aid in solving and preventing violent crimes involving firearms.
NIBIN technology compares images of submitted ballistic evidence from shooting scenes and
recovered firearms and produces a list of possible similar results.
5112
Proposal Narrative
Trained NIBIN technicians then conduct a correlation review of these results, identifying NIBIN
leads or potential links or associations from the same firearm, eTrace is an intemet-based system
that allows participating law enforcement agencies to submit firearm traces to the ATF for
identification.
One of the routine CGIC meetings would be dedicated to GunStat and these meeting would
include parole and probation and the juvenile supervision agency as additional partners. The
focus will be to prioritize warrant service, improve compliance of those gun offenders under
supervision, and enforce all relevant gun laws. The partners will follow up on those gun
offenders who have been previously identified and discuss any new offenders identified through
the most recent NIBIN leads.
The tactical team would be responsible for the daily operations and would be responsible for the
immediate collection, analysis, and dissemination of gun crime evidence and intelligence by the
ATF and OCSO, investigation of the criminal use of firearms, NIBIN data analysis and lead
dissemination, gun crime tracing and the identification of crime gun sources by the ATF,
firearms trafficking interdiction by ATF and partners, identification and arrest of armed
criminals by the enforcement agencies, and prosecution of offenders at the federal, state, and
local levels. The immediate collection of all ballistic evidence (shell casings and crime guns) is
critical to the success of the CGIC. All ballistic evidence is considered evidence of equal
importance regardless of the circumstances of its recovery or the severity of the crime being
investigated; this includes nonfatal shootings and shots fired calls. The ATF investigators assist
with the NIBIN test -fire and NIBIN entry, comprehensive gun tracing, and analysis of the
results.
6112
Proposal Narrative
The NIBIN contractor facilitates N]BfN entries, assists in crime gun tracing, reviews crime
reports related to NIBIN hits, and generates matrices to determine whether additional
investigation is needed.
The CGIC will also partner with local patrol and probation to leverage their investigative
capabilities including reviewing GPS monitoring data in the proximity of gun crimes and
utilizing parole and probation as a mechanism for identifying both probations and parolees that
are shooters and the firearms used in these crimes.
2. Comprehensive Gun Crime and Forensics Tracing
The CGIC approach is unique because it utilizes forensic technology to focus law enforcement
investigations and ultimately state/federal prosecutions on the most violent, armed offenders.
Investigations and prosecutions are based on the acts of violence perpetrated by criminals who
merit the full scrutiny of the criminal justice system.
The OCSO will respond to all crimes involving a firearm within the City of Pontiac and recover
any ballistics, which will be entered into NIBIN within 24 hours. The goal is to guarantee timely
and relevant NIBIN processing of all crime guns and recovered shell casings to develop
actionable investigative leads and impactful prosecutions. All crime gun recoveries will be
documented, and trace requests are submitted to the ATF National Firearms Tracing Center
(through eTrace) within 48 hours of recovery. NIBIN hits will be triaged by crime laboratory
staff and, if feasible or if the shooting involves a victim, will immediately be assigned to a
taskforce detective and ATF special agent for investigation. The investigators will provide
information to the detectives assigned to the NIBIN-linked cases and offer additional assistance.
It is common for NIBIN to link multiple shootings that cross police districts and/or cities.
;:, 7112
Proposal Narrative
CGIC partners, both police and prosecutors, investigate and coordinate efforts to pursue the
immediate identification and arrest of serial shooters before they commit their next shooting.
3. Comprehensive Collection and Management of Crime Gun Intelligence
All crime gun data generated by NIBIN and eTrace will be uniformly collected, examined, and
investigated by CGIC partners to ensure that all information is shared with all CGIC
stakeholders.
4. Crime Gun Intelligence Analysis
The CGIC will analyze all crime gun data collected from eTrace and NIBIN, or other forensic
analysis, and ensure it is assessed, leveraged, and lawfully disseminated, to ensure appropriate
linkage of crimes, guns, and suspects. Examples of such dissemination include Crime Gun
Intelligence Center Bulletins that provide valuable information to law enforcement officers.
5. Investigative Follow -Up
All actionable gun crime intelligence generated by the CGIC will be disseminated to all partners
and pursued using all available resources in conjunction with state and federal prosecutors.
6. Prevention and Community Engagement
All partners will utilize effective community engagement practices and evidence -based
programming such as focused deterrence and procedural justice to improve public trust and
confidence in the justice system and to prevent community members from participating in gun
crimes.
8112
Proposal Narrative
7. Performance Management
The CGIC will use data to measure outcomes including the decrease in the number of shootings,
more effective deployment of resources, and increase in successful gun crime prosecution.
8. Training and Policy Development
CGIC staff and partners will continually be trained on effective gun crime investigation and
prosecution strategies. In addition, the CGIC will develop policies that govern both the Sheriff's
Office response to gun crimes, but also the crime laboratory.
As part of the CGIC Implementation, comprehensive gun crime reduction strategies will be
developed that include the eight elements listed above. However, as the concept is implemented
and tested, the concept will be adapted as necessary to have the desired impacts.
In addition to the implementation of the CGIC, OCSO would also like to work with the partners
to explore the use of Community Violence Interrupters/Community Violence Intervention (CVI)
as part of the efforts to identify armed offenders and reduce gun violence in the City of Pontiac.
Capabilities and Competencies
For the initial development of the CGIC, a list of the key team members and roles are as follows:
1) The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF): Agent Brett Brandon and
Agent Benton Weston who are currently working with the OCSO Pontiac Substation, and ATF
Supervisory Special Agent Brian Guay
2) Oakland County Sheriff's Office: Captain Andre Ewing (OCSO — Pontiac Substation)

This project has support from all agencies and staff listed above. Command staff from the
OCSO, including Sheriff Michael Bouchard, Undersheriff Curtis Childs, Major Chris Wundrach
and Captain Andre Ewing strongly support this initiative. Captain Andre Ewing's staff at the
Pontiac Substation will be involved with the CGIC on a daily basis and will provide the
necessary resources and commitment to make this initiative successful.
Plan for Collectine the Data
The grant funded Paralegal will gather all necessary data from the CGIC for performance
reporting and send to OCSO to complete the quarterly reporting in the JustGrants system. The
quarterly performance report will include a review of the project timeline, including goals,
objectives, and deliverables to measure if the project is on track with the timeline and if the
goals, objectives, and deliverables are being met. The JustGrants performance reports will also
10112
Proposal Narrative
be shared with the CGIC to address any variance from the metrics so the team can evaluate if
changes to the CGIC need to be adapted to have the desired impacts.
Goal, Objective. and Deliverables:
Goal:
The primary goal of a CGIC is to develop leads that will identify armed violent offenders for
investigation and prosecution.
Objective:
The objective is to adhere to the BJA-ATF CG1C model, which includes intensive, timely,

Proposal Abstract
The Oakland County Sheriffs Office (OCSO) in collaboration wth the Oakland County Prosecuting Attorney (OCPA) and the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms (ATF) are requesting FY2022 Local Law Enforcement Crime Gun Intelligence Center (C(31C) Integration Initiative grant funding
to form a CGIC to address the firearm -related violent crime that has precipitously increased within the City of Pontiac over the last few years. Grant
funding will provide the capacity for Oakland County to work the local ATF partners to utilize intelligence, technology, and community engagement
to swiftly identify unlawfully used firearms and thew sources, and effectively prosecute perpetrators engaged in violent crime.
The City of Pontiac, Michigan has 61,606 residents and is located a short distance from Detroit and Flint. The City has contracted with the OCSO
for law enforcement services since 2011. Gun Crime and Seizures in Pontiac have grown exponentially over the last few years and the OCSO
requested the assistance of the ALL in 2021, The ATF's assistance has been beneficial, but the creation of a CGIC for the City of Pontiac would
include the collaboration of the OCSO, OCPA, ATF, crime lab, probation and parole, U.S. Attorney's Offices, conmmnity groups and academic
organizations.
A CGIC is an interagency collaboration focused on the timely collection, management, and analysis of gun crime evidence, such as shell casings and
semiautomatic handguns, using the National Integrated Ballistics Information Network (NIBIN) and the Electronic Tracing System (eTrace). The
CGIC process occurs in real time to identify serial shooters, disrupt criminal activity, and prevent future gun violence. The primary goal of the CGIC
will be to develop leads that will identify anned violent offenders for investigation and prosecution. Other outcomes include the identification of
crime gun sources, efficient resource allocation, providing decision makers with the most accurate gun crime data available, and increased public
safety.
The grant application requests funding for a Detective in the Sheriff's Office assigned solely to firearm -related related crimes in Pontiac, and a
Paralegal in the Prosecuting Attorney's Office that will assist with tracking and prioritizing CGIC cases, as well as assist with the formation of a
Crime Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC), coordinate with all other representatives/agencies and be responsible for planning all CGIC meetings and be
responsible for gathering the necessary information to report the performance measure data.

Indirect Costs
Instructions
Indirect costs are allowed only if: a) the applicant has a current, federally approved indirect cost rate; or b) the applicant is eligible to use and elects to use
the "de minimis" indirect cost rate described in 2 C.F.R. 200 414(f). (See paragraph DA b. in Appendix VII to Part 200—States and Local Government and
Indian Tribe Indirect Cost Proposals for a description of entities that may not elect to use the "de minimis" rate.) An applicant with a current, federally
approved indirect cost rate must attach a copy of the rate approval, (a fully -executed, negotiated agreement) If the applicant does not have an approved
rate, one can be requested by contacting the applicant's cognizant Federal agency, which will review all documentation and approve a rate for the
applicant organization, or if the applicant's accounting system permits, costs may be allocated in the direct costs categories. (Applicant Indian tribal
governments, in particular, should review Appendix VII to Part 200—States and Local Government and Indian Tribe Indirect Cost Proposals regarding
submission and documentation of indirect cost proposals.) All requested information must be included in the budget detail worksheet and budget
narrative. In order to use the "de minimis" indirect rate an applicant would need to attach written documentation to the application that advises DOJ of
both the applicant's eligibility (to use the' de minimis" rate) and its election. If the applicant elects the de minimis method, costs must be consistently
charged as either indirect or direct costs, but may not be double charged or inconsistently charged as both in addition, if this method is chosen then it
must be used consistently for all federal awards until such time as the applicant entity chooses to negotiate a federally approved indirect cost rate.
