The Office of Attorney General and Allegheny County District Attorney's Office Launch New Gun Violence Task Force

Attorney General Michelle Henry, in collaboration with Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala, announced the launch of the Allegheny County Gun Violence Task Force - a collaborative network targeting illegal purchases and transfers of firearms and the violent crimes that result from those transactions.

The Task Force is a formalization and expansion of partnerships between the Office of Attorney General, Allegheny County District Attorney's Office, Allegheny County Police Department, Pittsburgh Police Department, and other local, state, and federal agencies.

The newly-formed Task Force will bolster personnel, resources, technology, and community outreach efforts to combat firearms trafficking and gun violence in Allegheny County.
