Firearm violence is ravaging communities across the United States. A strong collaborative partnership among public safety, public health, and community is critical to address the firearm violence crisis. A homicide or shooting review process (HSR) convenes a multisector team to review aggregate and case-level data to identify immediate and system-level responses while developing a shared understanding and accountability and optimizing capacity,. Law enforcement plays a significant and important role in shaping an HSR for improved understanding of firearm violence and the needed prevention, intervention, and enforcement strategies at the state, local, and federal level. Success, challenges, and data collection systems will be presented
