Oregon Slams the Door on Gun Crime

Project Safe Neighborhoods is a nationwide initiative to reduce gun crime across America. The program combines the efforts of federal, state, and local agencies to make our communities safer. As part of these efforts, Project Safe Neighborhoods seeks to ensure that people committing any offense with a firearm face the most severe penalties, either through state or federal prosecution.

In Oregon, under the leadership of U.S. Attorney Karin Immergut, the goal of Project Safe Neighborhoods is to build a collaborative partnership between community leaders to combat violent gun crime. To be truly effective, the program needs the support of individuals and communities.

We invite you to explore our Web site and find resources, events and activities that you can participate in to help in this effort.

Together we can make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
