Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco’s Trip to Florida and Georgia

In Jacksonville, Florida, the Deputy AG visited the ATF’s Crime Gun Intelligence Center (CGIC). The Jacksonville CGIC is a nationwide leader in using crime gun intelligence to identify the most violent criminals and take shooters off the streets.

She was accompanied by Director Steve Dettelbach of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) for a roundtable discussion with state, local, and federal law enforcement leaders whose agencies contribute to and benefit from the CGIC’s real-time intelligence.

While in Jacksonville, Deputy AG Monaco also visited the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida, where she met with U.S. Attorney Roger B. Handberg and his leadership team, held an “all-hands” meeting with all district personnel, and was briefed on the district’s ongoing casework and community outreach.

The Deputy AG spent Friday at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Glynco, Georgia, visiting with new trainees for the ATF and U.S. Marshals Service (USMS).

The Deputy AG met with Deputy U.S. Marshal candidates and observed various tactical exercises, including on the use of force and firearms techniques. She saw firsthand how Deputy U.S. Marshals train to protect the judiciary and apprehend the most dangerous fugitives, all while upholding the rule of law nationwide.

Deputy AG Monaco also spent time with the graduates and their families and observed demonstrations of the arson and explosives investigative techniques that ATF Special Agents learn during their specialized training.
