@Lfunguscal Actually, it was the US Congress. The award Lemond was given was the Congressional Medal of Honor. While the award was bestowed on him in 2020, it was the House Speaker that picked the date. So I don't fault him for coming to DC this week to receive such a prestigious award.
This @freep op-ed by our @tpdaly & Kathleen O'Toole highlights our research that half of police departments nationwide-including Michigan-don't fully use federal tracking tools that help solve gun crimes. We can change this. Learn how ⬇️ #PublicSafety#GunViolencePrevention

So I hope Rich Hamburg, Paul Bonta, Amy McSpadden Bailey, Sharon Gilmartin, and others on the Safe State’s team view this award as much of an indication of their own inclusivity and openness to partner; as it is mine.
But it’s been equally important for me to leverage the Foundation’s position, relationships, and standing; in any and all ways; to advance our aligned data infrastructure goals.
It’s also true that partnering with Safe States really is a pleasure; and that’s because of the incredible team they have pulled together to focus on its injury prevention work.
I am honored to receive this tremendous recognition from @SafeStates Alliance. The @JoyceFdn has been pleased to fund and partner with Safe States; particularly around the important work it does to sustain and build out the National Violent Death Reporting System.
We are so excited to award Tim Daly the 2024 President's Award for providing contributions and furthering the mission of the Safe States Alliance. Safe States will honor his achievements today at our annual conference!

Hats off to everyone who has been involved from the @joycefdn's Gun Violence Prevention and Justice Reform and External Affairs teams (past and present).
What started as an idea to keep communication going through the early days of the pandemic, has turned into an important way to disseminate emerging research findings to key stakeholders.

Read the full report and recommendations on how law enforcement, state policymakers, @ATFHQ, and Congress can do more to leverage these tools to solve gun crimes and save lives. https://t.co/KblmGAZTzE
America is facing a gun violence crisis, in part, bc we’re facing a clearance rate crisis. New research from @JoyceFdn shows one reason why: Over half of all law enforcement agencies in the US are failing to fully utilize the primary federal tools to solve gun crimes.
Significant changes at @ATFHQ are needed to lower processing times, increase ease of use, and ensure crime guns are traced and gun traffickers are identified. And more law enforcement agencies need to take advantage of these important tools that we know work.
