Delegation Welcomes $3.4 Million to Solve Crime, Keep Communities Safe & Support Survivor Services | 2024-12-11 | 2024 | 2024-12 | Democrat | Senate | NM | Martin Heinrich | H001046 | www.heinrich.senate.gov | heinrich | https://www.heinrich.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) and Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), and U.S. Representatives Teresa Leger Fernández (D-N.M.), Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), and Gabe Vasquez (D-N.M.) are welcoming $3,392,905 from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to help New Mexico’s law enforcement solve crimes, support survivor services, improve violence prevention, and keep communities safe. The grants all come from the Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program and will be distributed from the DOJ’s Office of Justice Programs (OJP). “To tackle crime and make our communities safer, we need to better equip our law enforcement officers and prosecutors as they work to solve and prevent crimes, while also supporting survivors of violent crime as they grapple with the very real impacts of what they’ve experienced,” said Heinrich. “I’m proud to welcome these federal resources that will both support survivors of violent crime and hold dangerous criminals accountable.” “With this $3.4 million in federal funding, New Mexico’s law enforcement agencies will be equipped with the resources needed to keep our communities safe and support victims of crimes,” said Luján.“Across our state, law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe, and I’m proud to welcome this funding to help them do their jobs. I will continue to fight for federal resources to keep New Mexico communities safe.” "Across my district, from Clovis, to Hobbs to Farmington, we are delivering $3.4 million in funds to help our law enforcement professionals solve crimes faster, protect themselves as they confront violent criminal encounters, and keep people safe during high-speed chases,” said Leger Fernández. “It’s vital that our communities feel safe and protected,” said Stansbury. “This $3.4 million will help provide law enforcement with the tools to address crime, protect victims, and keep New Mexico safe. Our law enforcement and first responders put their lives on the line to protect New Mexicans, and I’m grateful for this funding.” “This $3.4 million investment is a critical step towards strengthening public safety in our communities,” said Vasquez. “By supporting crime prevention efforts and providing vital resources for survivors, we’re ensuring that justice is within reach. Our law enforcement officers and community organizations work tirelessly to ensure our safety, and I’m committed to fighting for the federal support they need.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T22:13:55Z |
