The U.S. Justice Department is launching a new strike force aimed at cracking down on illegal firearms trafficking, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said on Tuesday.

The strike force will be focused on reducing violent crime by targeting activity in "significant gun trafficking corridors" including New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., Monaco said during an event sponsored by the Police Executive Research Forum.

Monaco said U.S. Attorney's offices in the targeted areas will coordinate with federal, state and local law enforcement to focus on "where the guns are originating, where they're used in violent crime... and going after the entire network."
