These grants will help police and community organizations crack down on crime with innovative procedures and anti-crime programs.
Governor Ivey celebrated the grants:
“These grants offer another tool to help law enforcement agencies and community organizations take creative approaches to making our communities safer … I am pleased to announce these funds to support anti-crime efforts in the city of Birmingham.” – Governor Kay Ivey
