The job of the three new hires will be to identify, investigate and prosecute violent crimes in Marion County at the federal level.
INDIANAPOLIS — On Tuesday, Mayor Joe Hogsett, United States Attorney Zachary Myers and IMPD Chief Randall Taylor held a meeting to highlight the upcoming addition of three Special Assistant United States Attorney positions to help crack down on violent crimes in Indiana.
“With federal authority, these attorneys can help bring federal-sized consequences down onto those who are responsible for selling and using the illicit guns that fuel so much of Indy’s violence,” said Mayor Hogsett. “In effect, this can choke out the access points where criminals buy their firearms, further reducing the rate of violent crime in our city.
“Federal prosecution of the drivers of violence has an important impact in our community,” said U.S. Attorney Myers. “This partnership will allow us to expand our office’s work to investigate and prosecute violent criminals, gun traffickers, and illegally armed individuals who pose the greatest risk to our neighbors.” “I turned 84 two weeks last Friday, they had birthday party for me,” Tom said. Tom’s family says he was robbed over the weekend.
It's still too early to tell if Tom's incident rises to a federal crime but police are investigating.The SAUSA's will be hired by the City’s Office of Corporation Counsel and then detailed to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Indiana. The attorneys will be full-time employees of the City of Indianapolis and will report to the Corporation Counsel.Applicants can apply here.
