Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced last week a multi-million dollar investment in a state program dedicated to reducing gun violence in New York.

The state will pour $13.2 million into the Gun Involved Violence Elimination, or GIVE, initative which works with counties to help reduce shootings and firearm-related crimes. The program is designed to foster collaboration among local law enforcement agencies in areas that experience particularly high rates of violent crimes.
