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.

Minnesota PUBLIC SAFETY, MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF
VIOLENCE WITHIN THE URBAN CORE MINNEAPOLIS AND ST. PAUL AND SURROUNDING SUBURBS CONTINUES TO SUFFER FROM DEVASTING VIOLENCE: CAR JACKINGS, GANG WARFARE, AUTOMATIC HANDGUNS, AND ARMED ROBBERIES. ALTHOUGH THE NUMBER OF GUNSHOTS RECORDED IN THE CITY FELL 29% IN 2023, RESULTING IN 129 FEWER VICTIMS WHEN COMPARED TO 2022, THERE WERE STILL OVER 6,486 GUNSHOTS DETECTED ON MINNEAPOLIS STREETS. HOMICIDES IN MINNEAPOLIS WERE UP 160% AND GUNSHOT VICTIMS WERE UP 57% IN 2023 COMPARED TO 2019. CARJACKINGS, WHICH PEAKED IN 2021, DECLINED 42% FROM 2022 TO 2023. STILL, THESE DECREASES ARE NOT ENOUGH. MUCH OF THE VIOLENCE PLAGUING THE TWIN CITIES CONTINUES TO BE DRIVEN BY GANGS WHO ARE FAR MORE LIKELY TO USE VIOLENCE TO ESTABLISH REPUTATION AND TERRITORY. THIS VIOLENT CRIME CRISIS IS OCCURRING AT THE SAME TIME LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENTS ARE FACING A RECORD SHORTAGE OF OFFICERS. THE MINNEAPOLIS AND ST. PAUL POLICE DEPARTMENTS HAVE A FRACTION OF THE SWORN OFFICERS THEY DID BEFORE MAY 2020. WITH OVERBURDENED LOCAL PROSECUTORS AND STATE COURTS, POLICE AND SHERIFFS CONTINUE TO RELY ON AN INCREASED FEDERAL PRESENCE, WHICH THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IS COMMITTED TO. THE 2024 PROJECT SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS STRATEGY WILL DIRECTLY ADDRESS ALL THESE ISSUES WITH A PRIORITY FOCUS ON PREVENTION, INTERVENTION, ENFORCEMENT, AND REENTRY EFFORTS WITHIN THE URBAN CORE OF THE TWIN CITIES 		10/1/2024 9/30/2027 Prime $237,285.00

PROJECT SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS (PSN) WAS LAUNCHED IN THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI (SDMS), SPECIFICALLY, IN THE CITY OF JACKSON IN DECEMBER OF 2017. OVER TIME, SDMS EXPANDED PSN BEYOND JACKSON TO THE CITIES OF HATTIESBURG, MERIDIAN, NATCHEZ, VICKSBURG, AND GULFPORT, WHICH ARE GEOGRAPHICALLY DISPERSED THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT. MORE RECENTLY AND FOLLOWING AN ASSESSMENT OF NEEDS WITHIN THE DISTRICT AND THESE PARTICULAR CITIES, SDMS REDUCED THE NUMBER OF CITIES IN WHICH IT HOSTS REGULAR PSN MEETINGS TO FOUR: JACKSON, HATTIESBURG, GULFPORT, AND MERIDIAN. SDMS HAS DESIGNATED ALL COUNTIES IN WHICH THESE FOUR CITIES ARE NOT LOCATED AS PSN LITE SITES, AND ALTHOUGH REGULAR MEETINGS ARE NOT HOSTED WITHIN THOSE COUNTIES, AN AUSA IS ASSIGNED TO EACH COUNTY TO SERVE AS A POINT OF CONTACT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT AND TO ASSIST WITH PSN INITIATIVES AND CASES WITHIN THAT COUNTY. THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (DOJ) RECENTLY DESIGNATED JACKSON AS ONE OF THREE CITIES TO BE A RECIPIENT OF ITS VIOLENT CRIME INITIATIVE (VCI). THROUGH THE VCI, THE DOJ IS DEDICATING TIME AND RESOURCES TO SPECIFICALLY TARGET GANGS AND OTHER VIOLENT GROUPS WHO COMMIT VIOLENT CRIME IN THE CITY OF JACKSON. THE VCI INDICATES THE DOJ, LIKE THE SDMS, RECOGNIZES THAT VIOLENCE, FIREARMS OFFENSES, DRUG TRAFFICKING, AND OTHER CRIMES (E.G., RICO OFFENSES) ARE BEING DRIVEN IN SIGNIFICANT PART BY THE ACTIVITIES OF GANGS AND OTHER CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS.

THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI CONSISTS OF 37 RURAL COUNTIES. AS A PART OF ITS PROJECT SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS (PSN) INITIATIVE, THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI CURRENTLY HAS JUST ONE DESIGNATED PSN SITE, BUT WORKS CLOSELY WITH STATE, LOCAL AND FEDERAL PARTNERS ACROSS OUR DISTRICT TO COMBAT VIOLENT CRIME. OUR CURRENT PSN FOCUS AREA IS IN THE CITY OF GREENVILLE, WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA AND IS A HISTORIC PSN FOCAL POINT IN OUR DISTRICT SINCE 2002. DUE TO STEEP INCREASE IN VIOLENT CRIME AND REQUESTS FROM LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR ASSISTANCE, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF EXPLORING A SECOND POTENTIAL PSN SITE IN CLARKSDALE, MISSISSIPPI WHICH WAS A PREVIOUS PSN SITE FROM 2002-2012. BECAUSE THE VIOLENT CRIME PROBLEM IN OUR DISTRICT IS LARGELY INTERTWINED WITH DRUG TRAFFICKING AND GANG ACTIVITY, OUR UNITED STATES ATTORNEY LED TASK FORCES HAVE TRADITIONALLY ATTACKED GUN CRIME ACROSS OUR DISTRICT AND IN OUR TARGET AREAS IN CONJUNCTION WITH DRUG AND ORGANIZED CRIME DRUG ENFORCEMENT TASK FORCES (OCDETF) INVESTIGATIONS. BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO,, FIREARMS, AND EXPLOSIVES AGENTS HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED ON A FULL-TIME BASIS TO EACH OF THE DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION MULTI-AGENCY TASK FORCES CONDUCTING THESE INVESTIGATIONS TO ENSURE THAT VIOLENT GUN CRIMES ARE FULLY INVESTIGATED AND THAT THOSE RESPONSIBLE ARE PROSECUTED. THE USAO IS WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE MISSISSIPPI BUREAU OF NARCOTICS AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SUCH AS THE GREENVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT SPECIAL OPERATIONS UNIT TO COMBAT DRUG AND GUN CRIME. THIS DISTRICT WILL USE FUNDS TO FURTHER ASSIST OUR STATE, LOCAL AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS IN ONGOING PSN EFFORTS. FUNDS WILL SUPPORT PROACTIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS, COMMUNITY PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION, TRAINING AND COMMUNITY EDUCATION. 		10/1/2024 9/30/2027 Prime $78,828.00

THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK (SDNY) COMPRISES APPROXIMATELY 5.1 MILLION PEOPLE, IN A DIVERSE GEOGRAPHIC, ETHNIC, AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC LANDSCAPE. GANG ACTIVITY AND GUN VIOLENCE CONTINUES TO BE SERIOUS THREAT WITH MOST THE DISTRICT'S COMMUNITY VIOLENCE STEMMING FROM DRUG TRAFFICKING AND GANG ACTIVITY. GUN VIOLENCE REMAINS A PRESSING ISSUE IN BOTH THE BRONX AND MANHATTAN. ALTHOUGH IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE, THE OVERALL NUMBERS ARE STILL ALARMINGLY HIGH. IN MANHATTAN, THE TREND IN SHOOTING INCIDENTS AND VICTIMS HAS SHOWN A GRADUAL DECLINE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. IN 2022, 211 SHOOTING INCIDENTS RESULTING IN 255 VICTIMS. THIS DECREASED IN 2023 WITH 162 INCIDENTS AND 186 VICTIMS. WHILE THESE NUMBERS SUGGEST PROGRESS, THEY ALSO INDICATE THAT GUN VIOLENCE REMAINS A SIGNIFICANT CONCERN. THE BRONX, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAS SEEN A MORE PRONOUNCED DECLINE IN GUN VIOLENCE, ALTHOUGH THE NUMBERS REMAIN HIGH. IN 2022, THE BRONX REPORTED 408 SHOOTING INCIDENTS WITH 484 VICTIMS. THIS DECREASED IN 2023 TO 318 INCIDENTS AND 377 VICTIMS. WHILE THE DOWNWARD TREND IS ENCOURAGING, THE HIGH VOLUME OF INCIDENTS AND VICTIMS HIGHLIGHTS THE PERSISTENT CHALLENGES FACED BY THE BRONX. ADDRESSING BOTH THESE ISSUES REQUIRES A MULTIFACETED APPROACH, INCLUDING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, IMPROVED POLICING STRATEGIES, AND ADDRESSING SOCIO ECONOMIC FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO VIOLENCE. SDNY PROPOSES TO CONTINUE TO DIRECT PROJECT SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS FUNDS (PSN) FUNDS TOWARD THESE TWO BOROUGHS TO ASSIST THE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT AND ITS GANG TASK FORCE PARTNERS IN THEIR EFFORTS TO ENHANCE ANALYTICAL CAPACITY. THIS ABILITY WILL SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCE THE NEW YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENTS (NYPD) CURRENT TARGETED AND PRIORITIZED GUN VIOLENCE ENFORCEMENT AND INTERVENTION EFFORTS. IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY CHRONIC VIOLENT OFFENDERS THAT ARE AT HIGHEST RISK FOR BEING INVOLVED IN FUTURE SHOOTING INCIDENTS, THE NYPD CREATED THE GUN RECIDIVIST INVESTIGATION PROGRAM (GRIP). GIVEN THE FACT THAT OVER HALF OF THE GRIP SUBJECTS HAVE CONFIRMED GANG/CREW AFFILIATIONS, THE NYPD WILL FOCUS MUCH MORE THAN 30% OF THE PSN FUNDING TO SUPPORT HIGH-LEVEL ANALYTICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL EFFORTS WITHIN THE NYC CGIC TO INFORM AND DRIVE ITS GANG-RELATED GUN VIOLENCE AND GANG INTERDICTION EFFORTS WITHIN THE BRONX AND MANHATTAN. 		10/1/2024 9/30/2027 Prime $153,649.00
