I think if we go after this gang, we can eliminate a lot of this activity.
So we put a list together, a target list.
We went and talked to the FBI.
We went and talked to the ATF.
Ultimately, we partnered with the ATF because they work a little bit faster, and we had a lot of straw purchases, so...
We went and put a Federico case against these guys.
But to give you an idea of how effective we were, in 2009, we had 76 drive-by shootings.
Are you serious?
So what's the time frame here?
This is 2009.
So we had from 2007 to 2010, we had 200.
But in 2009, we had 76 drive-by shootings.
Wow.
When I took over in 2010, we went down to 10 drive-by shootings.
In 2011, we had zero drive-by shootings.
And in 2012, we had zero drive-by shootings.
When I left in 2012, we had no drive-by shootings.
We went from 76 to 10 to zero to zero.
Why?
Because we targeted our law enforcement efforts and we put our boot in their throat.
