ATF DIRECTOR STEVEN DETTELBACH delivers an impassioned keynote address on the epidemic of GUN VIOLENCE BY ILLEGAL GUNS taking place across the United States. Firearm injuries were the LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH AMONG CHILDREN for the THIRD YEAR IN A ROW, he explained, and have DOUBLED in the U.S. since 2021.

Comprehensive collaborations between these private and public sectors have led to the development of innovative intelligence and technologies that serve to protect our Nation.

Steven Dettelbach, Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms (ATF) and Explosives, delivered the keynote address at the 2023 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security and Excellence in Public Safety Awards Ceremony and Banquet Luncheon.

Director Dettelbach spoke with passion on the epidemic of Gun Violence by Illegal Guns taking place across the United States, which results in over 125 deaths daily and impacting generations of families – leaving open chairs at holiday events.

Creative partnerships between private leaders in innovation such as NEC National Security Solutions President Dr. Kathleen Kiernan (at center), and Executive Chairman Bill Bratton of TENEO Risk Advisory (at right), working together with public sector change-makers like CBP Port Director Tenable Thomas for the Port of New York and Newark (at left), lead to ingenious intelligence and technologies that serve to protect our Nation.

Firearm injuries were the leading case of death for children for the third year in a row, he explained, and have doubled in the U.S. since 2021, levels that are simply intolerable.

Director Dettelbach lauded the strong partnerships with Federal, State, Local, and Tribal Policing that ATF has earned and relies upon to reduce violence and spoke with admiration as a former prosecutor on the selfless sense of mission and drive that is universal across the entire First Responder Community.
