Operation Speeding Bullet

Operation Speeding Bullet is a program designed to prevent defendants who used a gun in the commission of a crime or were found to have been in possession of a gun at the time of arrest from returning to the streets.

Under Operation Speeding Bullet, the DA's Office will oppose bail for all defendants in gun related cases. We will no longer request that defendants waive their rights to a preliminary hearing. Instead, we will expedite the processing of gun files so that we can move the case up from City Court to County Court. Instead of offering bail, we will make an SCI offer instead of a bail.

Defendants in gun cases will now be going to prison instead of returning to the street.
