One of those is the Crime Gun Intelligence Center that is being constructed and will open in the Spring of 2019.

The center will house members of the State Attorney's Office and partnering agencies committed to solving crimes involving firearms.  

The report also highlights the arrest of 46 members of the Rollin 20 gang in an operation that also took 30 firearms -- and hundreds of grams of drugs -- off the streets.

The report also lays out how the office has used its KEYS 2 drive initiative to save taxpayers millions of dollars.
