This bill reauthorizes the Project Safe Neighborhoods program, a federal initiative that coordinates law enforcement, prosecutors, and community leaders across all 94 federal judicial districts to reduce violent crime through community engagement, prevention, and enforcement strategies. The legislation expands how grant funds can be used by allowing money for hiring crime analysts, paying overtime for law enforcement and prosecutors, purchasing crime-reduction technology, and supporting multi-jurisdictional task forces—new uses not previously authorized. The bill extends federal funding authorization for the program through fiscal years 2026 to 2030 and requires the Attorney General to submit annual reports to Congress detailing how grant money is spent in each area, community outreach efforts, and violent crime statistics. The bill, introduced by a bipartisan group of representatives, affects federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies and communities nationwide that participate in the program.
