Establish the violent crime reduction grant program

Summary

The bill establishes the Violent Crime Reduction Grant program, which provides funding to municipal police departments and county sheriff’s offices for projects that lower violent crime. Grants can be used for strategies such as focused deterrence, hot‑spot policing, and the juvenile‑justice office’s gang‑prevention model, and must supplement—not replace—existing local resources. The program is run by the Division of Criminal Justice Services and requires annual reporting to the governor and legislature.
