This Midwest OCDETF operation resulted in the conviction and/or cooperation of over 70 individuals connected with gangs trafficking in crack cocaine and victimizing the public housing projects of Peoria, Illinois.  The combined investigative expertise and resources of the FBI, IRS, U.S. Marshals Service, Illinois State Police, Peoria County Sheriff, and City of Peoria Police, were focused on two large Chicago-based drug trafficking organizations, the "Gangster Disciples" and the "Vice Lords". Operation Crackshot was coordinated with similar OCDETF cases in Chicago and elsewhere. Violent crime in the Peoria housing projects was down approximately 70 percent the following year.
