Project Safe Neighborhood
PSN is a federally-funded program intended to reduce gun violence through law enforcement training, public education, and aggressive law enforcement efforts to investigate and prosecute gun-related crimes. It is coordinated by the U.S. Attorney in each federal district. U.S. Attorney Tom Colantuono is assisted in the PSN initiative by Assistant U.S. Attorney Deb Walsh, who serves as PSN Coordinator in New Hampshire, SAUSA Ken Perkes, who serves as the PSN Prosecutor and John Tuthill, who serves as the PSN Investigator.
