We are committed to supporting survivors of violence and holding offenders accountable,\u201d said Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick. \u201cI am proud to have delivered this critical funding for the City of Lauderhill\u2019s Comprehensive Crime Reduction Program, which will enable our law enforcement officers to work more efficiently, effectively, and precisely. It will allow them to expand their reach without sacrificing the services that keep our community safe. This means increased intervention resources, enhanced crime prevention technology, and additional support for those in greatest need.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt has been a pleasure working with Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick since she took office. Her willingness to hear our needs and advocate on our behalf at the Capitol has resulted in her acquiring a substantial number of financial resources that positively impacted Lauderhill\u2019s annual budget,\u201d said Mayor Ken Thruston. \u201cThe safety and security of residents and law enforcement remain a top concern of the city, and this appropriation serves two major purposes: decreasing costs to taxpayers while giving our law enforcement more tools to fight crime without sacrificing services or safety. Thank you to the Congresswoman for the assistance!\u201d\n\nThe Comprehensive Crime Reduction Program will support technology, programming, and staffing to improve incident response time while working to drive down crime occurrences in Lauderhill. The funding fills a critical gap in the Lauderhill community. It enhances the Lauderhill Police Department\u2019s efforts to combat violent crime, focusing on domestic violence, which is a priority for the City Commission and Administration.\n\nThe funding for the City of Lauderhill was included in Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick\u2019s requests for Community Project Funding (CPF) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024. The requests delivered over $14.4 million in critical resources for Florida\u2019s 20th Congressional District to address some of the district\u2019s most pressing needs.\n\nFor more information about Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick\u2019s FY24 CPF requests, please click here.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:36:13Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://cherfilus-mccormick.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-sheila-cherfilus-mccormick-delivers-963000-funding-city"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.018304843455553, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
