Sponsored by L3Harris

Law enforcement agencies around the country rely on federal grant funding to provide the money necessary to acquire and replace the basic tools necessary for them to meet minimum operational needs. Although the rise in violent crime and opioid abuse has taken their toll on law enforcement agencies forced to divert personnel and other resources to face these dual crises in an increasingly challenging environment, new federal programs aimed at curbing these problems can help agencies fill the gaps.
