Governor Timothy Kaine Announces Public Safety Services Grants Awarded Totalling $4,317,551

Governor Timothy M. Kaine announced Monday that grants totaling $4,317,551 have been awarded to enhance public safety services statewide. Specifically, the grants were provided to localities to improve services for victims of crime and violence, to educate and reform juvenile offenders and to upgrade internal criminal history record systems.

“We are extremely fortunate that these federal funds will better help localities and state entities serve the citizenry of Virginia, particularly those who are victims of domestic violence,” Governor Kaine said. “These grants will also continue the Commonwealth’s services to young offenders and improve our existing criminal history record infrastructure.”

The Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) administers the grant programs.  DCJS’s Criminal Justice Services Board (CJSB), the policy board appointed by the Governor to act on matters affecting the criminal justice system in Virginia, reviewed and approved them.

In total, 94 continuation grants impacting 65 localities and five educational institutions were approved (see below). For more information regarding grant opportunities with DCJS, go to www.dcjs.virginia.gov/grants.
