WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 14th October, 2022) The US Justice Department is awarding more than $370 million in grants to law enforcement agencies to support their operations and address violent crimes, the department said on Friday.
"The Department of Justice announced today more than $370 million in grant awards to fund state, local and Tribal crime and violence reduction efforts and evidence-based strategies that support law enforcement operations, improve officer safety and build trust with communities," the Justice Department said in a statement.
The grants, made by the Office of Justice Programs and National Institute of Justice, will support activities designed to address serious crimes such as sexual assault and gun offenses, the statement said.
The awards will also support the Justice Department's work to build officer resilience, improve recruitment and increase diversity in the law enforcement profession, the statement said.
