Community policing and community prosecution program grants
Under current law, DOJ awards grants to local governments for many purposes, including for community-oriented policing-house programs and to increase beat patrol officers. This bill adds that DOJ must award grants to cities, villages, towns, counties, and tribes to fund community policing and community prosecution programs.
