WASHINGTON D.C.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Department of Justice will award $1.6 billion in grant awards to support a wide range of programs designed to reduce violent crime and strengthen communities. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The grants, which are being distributed to communities and organizations throughout the nation, are administered by the department\u2019s Office of Justice Programs (OJP).<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

\u201cThe Department of Justice is committed to supporting our state and local partners to combat crime across the country,\u201d said Attorney General Merrick Garland. \u201cThis latest round of funding will deliver critical public safety resources, helping public safety professionals, victim service providers, local agencies and nonprofit organizations confront these serious challenges.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As law enforcement agencies address a range of public safety challenges \u2013 from violent crime to human trafficking to retail thefts \u2013 these awards will provide additional tools to advance violence intervention activities and evidence-based police and prosecution strategies. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"red<\/a>Funds are also intended to reduce recidivism, help people coming out of prisons and jails make the transition back into their communities and support responses to crises like drug overdoses and episodes involving mental illness. <\/span><\/p>\n

These grants build on earlier OJP investments, including more than $1.2 billion to support\u00a0victim assistance and compensation programs<\/a>, $187 million under the state formula\u00a0Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants Program<\/a>, more than $175 million in funding for\u00a0victim services<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0public safety<\/a>\u00a0in American Indian and Alaska Native communities, over $21 million in grants to address\u00a0hate crimes<\/a>\u00a0and $17.5 million in\u00a0Project Safe Neighborhoods grants<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

The COPS office also funded\u00a0the hiring<\/a>\u00a0of over 1,000 officers in 183 police departments this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the awards address the rise in gun violence and other violent crime in communities across America, in alignment with the Biden-Harris Administration\u2019s commitment in April. <\/span><\/p>\n

These grants help support the department\u2019s\u00a0Comprehensive Strategy for Reducing Violent Crime<\/a>, announced in May, and will advance President Biden\u2019s\u00a0Comprehensive Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Gun Crime and Ensure Public Safety<\/a>, released in June.<\/span><\/p>\n

A full list of awards, as they are made, will be available on the\u00a0OJP Grant Awards page<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
