AI Summary

The grants are intended to achieve interoperability of state, county, and municipal law enforcement systems, enable real-time communication and crime reporting among law enforcement agencies, and modernize evidence storage and handling practices. The Department of Public Safety must consult with the Department of Information Technology to determine the appropriateness of the grants, which cannot exceed 50% of the project costs. Any unused funds will revert to the general fund at the end of the 2021 fiscal year.
