CHICAGO – The Illinois State Police conducted a firearms enforcement blitz across the state this summer, completing checks in all 102 counties in the state. Over 1,000 individuals were placed into compliance by surrendering their FOID Cards, transferring all firearms out of their possession, and completing a Firearm Disposition Record. Troopers completed 421 compliance checks across northern Illinois throughout the months of June and July. Since 2019, the ISP has executed hundreds of details, placing thousands of individuals in compliance with the FOID Act.
“The ISP continues to aggressively enforce our laws to keep deadly weapons out of the hands of those posing a significant threat to themselves or others,” said ISP Director Brendan F. Kelly. “Through these enforcement details, our impact on this key factor in gun violence continues to strengthen.”
