STATEHOUSE (May 28, 2025) – "I was proud to see House Enrolled Act 1095 ceremonially signed into law today. This important law adds Lake County to the Indiana Crime Guns Task Force, which has successfully solved hundreds of crimes through firearm tracing, and adding Lake County will promote public safety for our community.
"Lake County has been working hard to be added to the Indiana Crime Guns Task Force since it was established in 2021. The task force brings together local police departments, state police and federal partners to track and remove illegal firearms, investigate firearm-related crimes, improve coordination between agencies and create a uniform strategy to track firearms used to commit crimes. Adding Lake County to the central Indiana counties that were already covered in the task force will reduce gun-related crimes and protect our local community.
"Thank you to all who worked on this law, and I look forward to seeing its implementation in northwest Indiana."
