These additional purposes could include enhancing training programs for law enforcement officers, improving community policing efforts, and supporting initiatives to reduce recidivism among offenders.
Overall, Bill 118 hr 10384 seeks to strengthen the effectiveness of the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program by broadening eligibility requirements and providing additional support for law enforcement agencies. If passed, this legislation could have a significant impact on crime prevention and control efforts at the state and local levels.
