SANFORD ANNOUNCES GRANTS TO ASSIST
CRIMINAL JUSTICE AGENCIES
COLUMBIA – Gov. Mark Sanford has announced grants to state agencies and local governments to decrease violence and drug-related crime by maintaining school resource officers in middle and high schools, funding drug courts and improving the criminal justice system throughout the state.
The South Carolina Department of Public Safety's Office of Justice Programs will administer these grant programs on behalf of the Governor's Office.
“Violent crime is as much a threat to public safety as is terrorism,” Sanford said. “Homeland Security means just that -- being safe in your home, and these grant awards will give law enforcement officers the tools to accomplish this mission.”
“South Carolina’s rates of domestic violence, child abuse and elder abuse and assault are among the highest in the nation. These grant awards will support innovative programs to continue to reduce crime in our towns and counties.”
These grants represent a portion of the $7,119,952 awarded to the South Carolina Governor's Office in 2003 by the U.S. Justice Department under the Drug Control and System Improvement Program. Under federal guidelines, agencies may use these funds for such purposes as hiring and training law enforcement officers and support personnel, providing expenses for training, purchasing equipment to improve criminal justice record keeping systems and establishing programs focusing on court delay reduction, school safety, narcotics operations, domestic violence and child/elder abuse investigations.
