AI Summary

This bill establishes and awards grants for the reduction of violence in municipalities. The Executive Office of Public Safety and Security (EOPSS) will create a "high-crime violence reduction grant" program to provide funding to qualifying municipalities that meet certain criteria related to violent crime rates. Municipalities can apply for these grants to fund evidence-based strategies and interventions, such as problem-oriented policing, hot-spot policing tactics, and proactive arrests of serious repeat offenders. The grants range from $100,000 for municipalities with populations under 100,000 to $500,000 for municipalities with populations of 500,000 or more. The goal of the program is to support police training and implementation of effective approaches to reduce violence in high-crime areas.
