It is not a complete list of all grants awarded from this assistance program, which may include additional cities, counties, or other jurisdictions and/or grants not awarded to law enforcement agencies.

We do not recommend aggregating the amounts shown here, as these grants may include both prime and sub grants. Totaling the grant amount here would result in some funding being double-counted – for example, if a county received a grant and subsequently made a sub-grant to a city within the county.

THE WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (DOJ) WILL SERVE AS THE FISCAL AGENT FOR THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY'S OFFICE (USAO) FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN AND WILL USE PSN FUNDING TO BUILD ON EXISTING EFFORTS ADDRESSING VIOLENT CRIME IN THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN. THE DISTRICT'S LARGEST CITY IS MADISON, WHICH HAS A POPULATION OF 272,903 AND IS IN DANE COUNTY WHICH HAS AN ESTIMATED POPULATION OF 575,347. IT IS WISCONSIN 'S SECOND LARGEST CITY AND ONE OF ITS FASTEST GROWING. THE PROJECT SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD (PSN) TARGET ENFORCEMENT AREA (TEA) FOR THE USAO OF THE WESTERN DISTRICT IS THE GREATER MADISON AREA. THE OFFICE HAS A VERY STRONG WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MADISON POLICE DEPARTMENT (MPD), SURROUNDING LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES, AND DANE COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO ADDRESS VIOLENT CRIME. THE USAO FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN ALSO WORKS CLOSELY WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT TO ADDRESS THEIR NEEDS. THIS INCLUDES COLLABORATING WITH AGENCIES ON THEIR COMMUNITY VIOLENCE INITIATIVE WHICH INCLUDES COORDINATION BETWEEN STREET LEVEL LAW ENFORCEMENT, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, SOCIAL SERVICES, AND HEALTH ADVOCATES. ONE OF THE CITIES THAT THE USAO OF THE WESTERN DISTRICT CLOSELY COLLABORATES WITHIS THE CITY OF LA CROSSE. IN RECENT YEARS THEY HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING VIOLENT CRIME SIGNIFICANTLY DISPROPORTIONATE TO A CITY THEIR SIZE. JANESVILLE AND BELOIT WHICH ARE BETWEEN THE MADISON AND ILLINOIS BORDER, HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN HOT SPOTS FOR VIOLENT CRIME. BECAUSE OF THAT, THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN THOSE THREE CITIES HAVE APPLIED AND RECEIVED FUNDING UNDER THE 2019 THROUGH 2023 PSN GRANTS. WHILE THEY ARE NOT IN THE TEA, THOSE DEPARTMENTS HAVE VALUED THE USAO'S RELATIONSHIP, OUTREACH, AND CASE OUTCOMES. THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 PSN FUNDING WILL HELP TO BUILD ON THESE COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS IN THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN. 		10/1/2024 9/30/2027 Prime $116,162.00

THE WDTX IS COMPRISED OF 68 COUNTIES, 93,000 SQUARE MILES, 660 MILES ALONG THE U.S./MEXICAN BORDER, AND TWO TIME ZONES. NO OTHER DISTRICT COVERS NEARLY AS MUCH BORDER WITH MEXICO. DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE MEXICAN BORDER, THE WDTX WORKS TO DISRUPT AND DISMANTLE TRANSNATIONAL CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT EMPLOY VIOLENCE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER. TRANSNATIONAL GANGS EFFECT VIRTUALLY ALL CORNERS OF THE WDTX THROUGH NARCOTICS, FIREARMS, AND HUMAN SMUGGLING. WDTX ALSO AGGRESSIVELY PURSUES HUMAN SMUGGLING ORGANIZATIONS AND WORKS TO COMBAT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. BECAUSE OF THE GEOGRAPHIC SIZE OF THE WDTX, THE CRIME AND THE CAUSES OF IT ARE DIVERSE. THE WDTXS PSN OBJECTIVE IS TO REDUCE THE VIOLENT CRIME IN THE ENTIRE DISTRICT, THROUGH INTERRUPTING GANG ACTIVITY AND ARRESTING THE SHOOTERS. THERE IS ALSO A NEED FOR DISTRICT-WIDE PREVENTION AND RE-ENTRY EFFORTS TO KEEP PEOPLE OUT OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AND TO ADDRESS RECIDIVISM. IN CONJUNCTION WITH PSN, THE WDTX DESIGNED A VIOLENT CRIME INITIATIVE THAT DRAWS ON PARTNERSHIPS TO TACKLE VIOLENT CRIME AND PROTECT THE COMMUNITIES OF CENTRAL AND WEST TEXAS THROUGH ENFORCEMENT, PREVENTION, AND RE-ENTRY PROGRAMS.

IN THESE AREAS THE ONGOING CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AND VIOLENCE PERPETRATED BY A REPEAT OFFENDER IS IMPACTFUL ON THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. IN MANY INSTANCES REPEAT OFFENDERS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT REVOLVED THROUGH THE STATE SYSTEM (SEVERAL TIMES), AND THEIR CONTINUED CRIMINAL ACTIVITY HAS AN OUTSIZED IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH THEY VIOLATE THE LAW. NEIGHBORHOOD BASED GANGS, AND THE ATTENDANT VIOLENT CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, WILL LIKELY REMAIN A SIGNIFICANT THREAT IN THE DISTRICT DESPITE LAW ENFORCEMENTS CONTINUAL EFFORTS TO DISMANTLE THEM. NBGS RAPIDLY CHANGING AFFILIATIONS AND THEIR MIGRATION INTO NEW COMMUNITIES WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT TO MITIGATE THE THREATS POSED BY NBGS. AN ONGOING FOCUS OF PSN EFFORTS ALSO INVOLVES IDENTIFYING, LOCATING AND INTERVENING WITH PARTICIPANTS (14-24 YEARS OLD) IN ACTS OF RANDOM FIREARM VIOLENCE WHICH TAKE PLACE ON A RECURRING BASIS. TO FURTHER THIS EFFORT THE CITY OF MOBILE HAS DESIGNATED A YOUTH VIOLENCE PREVENTION COORDINATOR AND INITIATED A DIVERSE STRATEGY TO COMBAT GUN VIOLENCE AND ITS SOURCES, DUBBED OPERATION ECHO STOP.

IT IS THE LARGEST DISTRICT IN THE COUNTRY, SERVING OVER 19 MILLION RESIDENTS. SINCE 2019, MANY NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE CDCA HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE IN VIOLENT CRIME AND CRIMES INVOLVING FIREARMS. THREE AREAS THAT HAVE STATISTICALLY HIGH LEVELS OF VIOLENT CRIME COMPARED TO OTHER AREAS ARE THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AND THE AREAS THAT MAKE UP THE LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENTS SOUTHEAST AND 77TH PATROL DIVISIONS. THE CDCAS ALLOCATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023 (FY23) HAS NOT YET BEEN ANNOUNCED. THE CDCA PSN STRATEGIC PLAN FOR FY22 HAD TWO MAJOR COMPONENTS, AND FUNDING IS TO BE ALLOCATED ACCORDINGLY: ONE, TO CONTINUE FOCUSING PSN RESOURCES ON THE THREE HIGH-CRIME AREAS IDENTIFIED ABOVE; AND TWO, TO OFFER A SERIES OF MICRO-GRANTS TO SUPPORT SMALLER-SCALE CRIME REDUCTION EFFORTS IN CDCA NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE THE FUNDING CAN HAVE A LARGER IMPACT. THE FY23 PSN STRATEGIC PLAN WILL LIKELY BUILD ON THIS CURRENT MODEL, WITH ANY CHANGES BASED ON CRIME STATISTICS AND ANALYSIS PROVIDED BY THE PSN RESEARCH PARTNER. PSN PROGRAMS SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO ADDRESS AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: LAW ENFORCEMENT INTERVENTION/REHABILITATION PREVENTION/OUTREACH RESEARCH PSN PROGRAMS SHOULD FOCUS ON ISSUES SPECIFIC TO THE CDCA, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, GANG VIOLENCE, THE PROLIFERATION OF GHOST GUNS, SILENCERS, AND GLOCK AUTO-SWITCHES OR AUTOSEARS, REPEAT AND HABITUAL OFFENDERS, FIREARMS POSSESSION BY PROHIBITED PEOPLE, SUCH AS FELONS AND DOMESTIC ABUSERS, COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL ROBBERIES, AND VIOLENCE RELATED TO HOMELESSNESS. BECAUSE THE CDCA EXPERIENCES A SPIKE IN VIOLENT CRIME DURING THE SUMMER, PSN PROGRAMS SHOULD INCLUDE A SUMMER VIOLENCE REDUCTION STRATEGY.

THE DISTRICTS LARGEST CITY IS MADISON, WHICH HAS A POPULATION OF 269,840 (U.S. CENSUS ESTIMATE 2021) AND IS IN DANE COUNTY WHICH HAS AN ESTIMATED POPULATION OF 563,951. IT IS WISCONSINS SECOND LARGEST CITY AND ONE OF ITS FASTEST GROWING. THE PSN TARGET ENFORCEMENT AREA (TEA) FOR THE USAO OF THE WESTERN DISTRICT IS THE GREATER MADISON AREA. THE OFFICE HAS A VERY STRONG WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MADISON POLICE DEPARTMENT (MPD), SURROUNDING LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES, AND DANE COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE TO ADDRESS VIOLENT CRIME. THE USAO FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN ALSO WORKS CLOSELY WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT TO ADDRESS THEIR NEEDS. THIS INCLUDES COLLABORATING WITH AGENCIES ON THEIR COMMUNITY VIOLENCE INITIATIVE WHICH INCLUDES COORDINATION BETWEEN STREET LEVEL LAW ENFORCEMENT, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, SOCIAL SERVICES, AND HEALTH ADVOCATES. ONE OF THE CITIES THAT THE USAO OF THE WESTERN DISTRICT CLOSELY COLLABORATES WITH IS THE CITY OF LA CROSSE. IN RECENT YEARS THEY HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING VIOLENT CRIME SIGNIFICANTLY DISPROPORTIONATE TO A CITY THEIR SIZE. JANESVILLE AND BELOIT WHICH ARE BETWEEN THE MADISON AND ILLINOIS BORDER, HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN HOT SPOTS FOR VIOLENT CRIME. BECAUSE OF THAT, THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN THOSE THREE CITIES HAVE APPLIED AND RECEIVED FUNDING UNDER THE 2019, 2020, AND 2021 PSN GRANTS. WHILE THEY ARE NOT IN THE TEA, THOSE DEPARTMENTS HAVE VALUED THE USAOS RELATIONSHIP, OUTREACH, AND CASE OUTCOMES. THE USAO HAS CHOSEN SEVERAL KEY PARTNERS TO WORK WITH ON THEIR ONGOING EFFORTS AROUND VIOLENT CRIME, INCLUDING CITY AND COUNTY AGENCIES THAT HAVE FORMED THE COMMUNITY SAFETY INTERVENTION TEAM.

CRIME IN ALABAMA IS INCREASING, IS BECOMING MORE VIOLENT, AND IT FREQUENTLY INVOLVES THE PRESENCE OF A FIREARM. SINCE 2010, THERE HAS BEEN AN 87% INCREASE IN HOMICIDES, A 56% INCREASE IN ASSAULTS, A 98% INCREASE IN AGGRAVATED DOMESTIC ASSAULTS, AND A 60% INCREASE IN RAPE. DRUG OVERDOSE DEATHS IN ALABAMA INCREASED BY MORE THAN 71% FROM 2020 - 2022. BASED UPON 2020 ATF TRACING DATA, ALABAMA IS A TOP 15 SOURCE STATE OF FIREARMS FOR ARKANSAS, CONNECTICUT, DELAWARE, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, HAWAII, ILLINOIS, KANSAS, KENTUCKY, LOUISIANA, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, MISSISSIPPI, NEW JERSEY, NEW MEXICO, NEW YORK, NORTH CAROLINA, OHIO, OKLAHOMA, PUERTO RICO, SOUTH CAROLINA, TENNESSEE, TEXAS, VERMONT, VIRGINIA, AND WEST VIRGINIA. THE FIVE CITIES OF ANNISTON, BESSEMER, BIRMINGHAM, HUNTSVILLE, AND TUSCALOOSA ARE VIOLENT CRIME HOTSPOT OUTLIERS, LEADING MOST AREAS OF ALABAMA IN  FIREARM RELATED VIOLENT CRIME. THE VIOLENT CRIME RATE IN 2019 FOR ALL OF ALABAMA WAS 467.6 PER 100,000 INHABITANTS. RESPECTIVELY, THE 2019 VIOLENT CRIME RATE PER 100,000 PEOPLE FOR ANNISTON, BESSEMER, BIRMINGHAM, HUNTSVILLE, AND TUSCALOOSA WAS: 1,443.2; 2,923.5; 1,638.7; 861.8, AND 635.9. THESE FIVE HOT SPOTS ARE CENTERS OF VIOLENT, DRUG, AND PROPERTY CRIMES WITHIN THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ALABAMA (NDAL). THE PRIMARY DRIVERS OF CRIME IN THESE HOTSPOTS INCLUDE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, VIOLENT GANGS, DRUG TRAFFICKING, AND STRAW PURCHASES. 		10/1/2022 9/30/2025 Prime $156,409.00

VIOLENT CRIME IS RISING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF ALABAMA. HOWEVER, THE MOST PREDOMINANT FIREARMS/VIOLENT CRIME ISSUE IN THE DISTRICT REMAINS LOCALIZED IN THE CITY OF MONTGOMERY, AS WELL AS THE COUNTY. THE CITY OF MONTGOMERY HAS THE LARGEST POPULATION IN OUR DISTRICT AND STILL COMPRISES MOST OF THE CASELOAD HANDLED BY BOTH THE U.S. ATTORNEY’S OFFICE. THERE WERE 320 PEOPLE SHOT IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY DURING 2021, WITH AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THEM LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. THERE WERE 75 HOMICIDE INVESTIGATIONS IN 2021, COMPARED TO 69 IN 2020. MONTGOMERY’S MURDER RATE IS 5.9 TIME GREATER THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE, AND 4 TIMES GREATER THAN THE STATE AVERAGE. GANGS, DRUG/GUN TRAFFICKING, AND ILLEGAL FIREARM POSSESSIONS ARE THE MAJOR DRIVING FORCES BEHIND VIOLENT CRIME.               ALTHOUGH A GREAT DEAL OF FOCUS IS DEDICATED ON THE MONTGOMERY AREA, THE REALITY IS THAT VIOLENT CRIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT RELATES TO GANG ACTIVITY, IS ITINERATE AND OCCURS ACROSS MULTIPLE JURISDICTIONS. THE CITY OF MONTGOMERY HAS NUMEROUS MAJOR ROADWAYS CONNECTING IT TO OTHER COUNTIES AND MUNICIPALITIES. THESE ROADWAYS PROVIDE TRAVELERS WITH AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY TO REACH ENDLESS DESTINATIONS, WHETHER ORIGINATING IN MONTGOMERY OR SIMPLY PASSING THROUGH TO DESTINATIONS SUCH AS ATLANTA, BIRMINGHAM, NASHVILLE, OR THE GULF COAST. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ALSO PROVIDE CRIMINALS AND GANG MEMBERS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND THEIR AREAS OF OPERATION. CITIES THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT ARE IMPACTED BY CRIME BASED OUT OF MONTGOMERY AND SURROUNDING METROPOLITAN AREAS IN ADJOINING STATES. THEREFORE, CONNECTING CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OCCURRING IN DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS IS ESSENTIAL IN COMBATTING VIOLENT CRIME.   MANY OF THE OFFENDERS COMMITTING VIOLENT CRIME IN THE DISTRICT HAVE CRIMINAL RECORDS AND HAVE BEEN “THROUGH THE SYSTEM” MULTIPLE TIMES. THE ALABAMA BUREAU OF PARDONS AND PAROLES SYSTEM REMAINS OVERBURDENED, AND THE STATE PRISON SYSTEM IS STILL DESPERATELY OVERCROWDED.  THUS, CLOSE SUPERVISION OF ALL PROBATIONERS AND PAROLEES IS VERY DIFFICULT DUE TO THE OVERBURDEN OF STATE RESOURCES. 		10/1/2022 9/30/2025 Prime $92,767.00
