JoCo Notes: Local police departments can apply for federal grants

Local law enforcement agencies in Kansas' Third Congressional District, including Johnson County, can now apply for federal grants to support criminal drug investigation efforts.

The COPS Anti-Methamphetamine Program will provide up to $2 million for local law enforcement, while the Anti-Heroin Task Force has up to $4 million in funds available.

"Whenever there is federal funding on the table, I'm going to do everything I can so Kansas gets its fair share, especially when it comes to making our communities safer," said Rep. Sharice Davids. "I'll continue supporting our local law enforcement officials in Kansas and advocating for them to receive the resources needed to do their jobs better."

Agencies have until April 25 to submit final applications for funding. Departments can reach out to Davids' office for letters of support from her.
