Gov. Whitmer Announces Operation Safe Neighborhoods Reaches New Milestone with More Than 450 Illegal Guns Off the Street

Press Release

Date: Aug. 29, 2023
Location: Lansing, Mich
Issues: Guns

"As a former prosecutor, protecting public safety is a top priority. With Operation Safe Neighborhoods, we have taken 450 illegal guns before they could be used in the commission of a crime. The budget I recently signed includes the largest investment we have made in public safety since taking office--totaling $1.5 billion since I took office. Earlier this year, I signed three commonsense gun violence prevention laws establishing universal background checks, safe storage requirements, and extreme risk protection orders. We will keep working together to reduce gun violence and save lives."
