The US Justice Department has announced the allocation of over $4.4 billion in grants to state, local, and Tribal agencies as part of its commitment to strengthening public safety and community justice initiatives. This funding is intended to address violence, support victims, and implement evidence-based strategies within the criminal and juvenile justice systems. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland emphasized that the investment would significantly contribute to making communities safer by assisting law enforcement and community partners. The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) will oversee the distribution of these grants, which total more than 3,700 for this fiscal year. These grants align with five key priorities: reducing violent crime, supporting law enforcement, enhancing community policing, enforcing accountability measures, and combating the opioid crisis.
