The grants below have been awarded to one of the cities or counties we are currently tracking in this database. 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.

Hawaii DEPT. OF LAW ENFORCEMENT STATE OF HAWAII
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS OFFICE (USAO) FOR THE DISTRICT OF HAWAII WILL USE FISCAL YEAR 2024 PROJECT SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS (PSN) FUNDING TO REDUCE, PREVENT, AND INVESTIGATE VIOLENT CRIME THAT IS LINKED TO AGRICULTURAL CRIME. THE STATE OF HAWAIIS DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT (DLE) WILL CREATE A LAW ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATOR POSITION THAT SERVES THE ENTIRE STATE, FOCUSING EXCLUSIVELY ON INVESTIGATING AGRICULTURAL CRIME, AND COORDINATING WITH OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO INVESTIGATE AND ANALYZE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY (SUCH AS NARCOTICS MANUFACTURING OR HUMAN TRAFFICKING) TAKING PLACE ON AGRICULTURAL LANDS, FOR A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS. THE PURPOSE OF CREATING A SPECIALIZED POSITION FOCUSING ON AGRICULTURAL CRIMES WITHIN THE DLE IS TO PROVIDE RANCHERS AND FARMERS WITH A DEDICATED RESOURCE THAT CAN ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS AND WORK WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO PREVENT VIOLENT CRIMES, INSTANCES OF VIGILANTISM, AND COMPILE DATA FROM CRIMINAL ACTIVITY REPORTING TO CREATE AN ACCURATE PICTURE OF HOW WIDESPREAD AGRICULTURAL CRIME IS THROUGHOUT THE STATE, AND HOW MANY OTHER CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES IT MAY TIE INTO. IN A REPORT REVIEWING 2019, THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA) NOTED THAT AGRICULTURAL THEFT AND VANDALISM, AND THE EXPENSE OF SECURITY MEASURES TO PREVENT THESE CRIMES IN HAWAII COST FARMERS ROUGHLY $14,400,000 (USDA, 2020). IN 2020, THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE REPORTED 66 CASES OF FELONY AGRICULTURE THEFT, 30 TRESPASSING CASES, AND 48 OTHER RELATED OFFENSES CASES IN HAWAII COUNTY. THOUGH THERE IS NO DIRECT CORRELATION BETWEEN THE RISING INDEX PERCENTAGE AND AGRICULTURAL CRIME, THERE IS A HEIGHTENED OPPORTUNITY FOR VIOLENT CRIME TO OCCUR WHEN WEAPONS ARE PRESENT DURING DISPUTES ON FARMS AND RANCHES. FOR EXAMPLE, TRESPASSING CASES THAT STEM FROM ILLEGAL HUNTING ACTIVITIES REPRESENT AN INCREASED DANGER OF VIOLENCE WHEN FIREARMS USED FOR HUNTING ARE PRESENT. 		10/1/2024 9/30/2027 Prime $92,756.00

IN THE PROJECT SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS (PSN) TARGET ENFORCEMENT AREA OF MARION COUNTY, INDIANA (THE HOME OF INDIANAPOLIS, THE LARGEST CITY IN INDIANA), HOMICIDES AND NONFATAL SHOOTINGS HAVE LARGELY CONTINUED TO TREND UPWARD SINCE 2015. ROBBERIES, CARJACKINGS, AND OTHER VIOLENT CRIMES HAVE ALSO ESCALATED. FOR EXAMPLE, HOMICIDES HAVE INCREASED OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS: 110 (2010), 158 (2015), 179 (2018), 172 (2019), 245 (2020), 271 (2021), 226 (2022). NON-FATAL SHOOTINGS TOTALED 578 IN 2022, 675 IN 2021, 652 IN 2020, 444 IN 2019, AND 451 IN 2018. INDIANA'S APPROACH TO VIOLENT CRIME REDUCTION IS A MULTI-FACETED APPROACH.NO SINGLE LEVEL OF LAW ENFORCEMENT FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL HAS THE CAPACITY TO CONFRONT THIS EPIDEMIC ALONE. BEYOND RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS, FEDERAL AGENCIES FACE JURISDICTIONAL LIMITATIONS. THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND ITS INVESTIGATIVE PARTNERS ARE EMPOWERED TO PURSUE GANGS AND DRUG TRAFFICKING ORGANIZATIONS, AS WELL AS INDIVIDUALS WHO PERPETRATE COMMERCIAL ROBBERIES, COMMIT VIOLENT CRIMES WITH FIREARMS, AND POSSESS FIREARMS AS PROHIBITED PERSONS.

STATE AND LOCAL PROSECUTORS AND AGENCIES FACE SIMILAR RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS AS WELL AS CHALLENGES UNIQUE TO THEIR JURISDICTIONAL LEVEL SUCH AS JAIL OVERCROWDING. PROSECUTORS AND INVESTIGATORS ARE UNABLE TO TACKLE THIS CHALLENGE ALONE; ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT OF COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURING A COMPREHENSIVE RESPONSE TO THE VIOLENT CRIME PROBLEM. THROUGH PSN MARION COUNTY FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL PARTNERS WILL WORK TOGETHER TO CAPITALIZE ON THEIR OVERLAPPING JURISDICTIONS, POOL RESOURCES AND KNOWLEDGE, AND BOOST THE CHANCES OF ACHIEVING THE SHARED GOAL OF REDUCING VIOLENT CRIME IN THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF INDIANA.

COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE 13 PARISHES ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO CRIME BECAUSE OF CHANGES IN WHEN AND WHERE VIOLENT ACTS ARE OCCURRING. WHEREAS CRIMES SUCH AS CAR JACKINGS, THEFT, ROBBERY, AND SHOOTINGS WERESEEN AS OCCURRING AT NIGHT AND OFTEN IN HIGH CRIME-URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS, THESE CRIMES ARE NOW OCCURRING IN POPULATED AND FREQUENTLY VISITED AREAS DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. WITH FISCAL YEAR 2024PROJECT SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS (PSN) FUNDING, THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA PLANS TO FOCUS ITS EFFORTS ON FOCUSED STRATEGIC ENFORCEMENT AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

MAINE'S RELATIVELY LOW VIOLENT CRIME PROBLEM PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR REAL IMPACT WITH THE INFUSION OF NEW RESOURCES. MAINE'S CRIME PROBLEM HAS HISTORICALLY CENTERED ON INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE, WHICH ACCOUNTS FOR APPROXIMATELY HALF OF THE HOMICIDES IN THE STATE EACH YEAR.THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS OFFICE (USAO) HAS AGGRESSIVELY ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WITH OUR EFFORTS TO KEEP FIREARMS OUT OF THE HANDS OF PROHIBITED PERSONS IN GENERAL AND OUT OF THE HANDS OF DOMESTIC ABUSERS IN PARTICULAR.MORE RECENTLY, THE DRIVER OF VIOLENT CRIME HAS INCLUDED SEX TRAFFICKING OF BOTH MINORS AND ADULTS AND VIOLENT CRIME ASSOCIATED WITH FIREARMS TRAFFICKING AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.SEX TRAFFICKING, ESSENTIALLY UNKNOWN OR UNDETECTED JUST A FEW YEARS AGO, CONTINUES TO INCREASE. MAINE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SOURCE STATE FOR FIREARMS, AND THE ABILITY OF PROHIBITED PERSON TO OBTAIN FIREARMS IS ALSO OF GRAVE CONCERN IN THIS CLIMATE. GUN TRAFFICKING, OFTEN ACCOMPANIED BY STRAW PURCHASES, AND POSSESSION OF FIREARMS BY VIOLENT OFFENDERS REQUIRES OUR VIGILANCE. THE DISTRICT WILL USE MAINE'S 2024 PSN FUNDING TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING PARTNERS WHOSE WORK IS FOCUSED ON REDUCING VIOLENT CRIME ASSOCIATED WITH OPIOID TRAFFICKING, SEX TRAFFICKING, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, GUN TRAFFICKING AND FIREARM POSSESSION BY PROHIBITED PERSONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF MAINE.IN 2024, THE PSN TEAM WILL WORK WITH THE CATHERINE CUTLER INSTITUTE, ITS RESEARCH PARTNER, TO REVIEW THE MOST RECENTLY AVAILABLE STATE-WIDE CRIME STATISTICS AND TO SUPPORT OUR UPDATED STRATEGIC PLAN. 		10/1/2024 9/30/2027 Prime $82,162.00

IN 2022, MARYLAND'S VIOLENT CRIME RATE WAS 398 INCIDENTS PER 100,000 RESIDENTS, SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. WHILE THERE WAS A MODEST DECLINE IN OVERALL NATIONAL VIOLENT CRIME, MARYLAND CONTINUES TO FACE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES, PARTICULARLY RELATED TO GUN VIOLENCE AND GANG ACTIVITY. GANG VIOLENCE REMAINS A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR, ESPECIALLY IN CITIES LIKE BALTIMORE, WHERE DISPUTES AND DRUG TRAFFICKING DRIVE MUCH OF THE VIOLENCE. THIS ONGOING ISSUE COMPLICATES EFFORTS TO ENHANCE PUBLIC SAFETY DESPITE SOME PROGRESS IN REDUCING VIOLENT CRIME. PROJECT SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS (PSN) IS A KEY INITIATIVE TO COMBAT VIOLENT CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS AND GUN VIOLENCE IN MARYLAND.
