Emporia is among many agencies in Kansas that received a portion of $25 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Justice.
Emporia will receive $17,258 for enhancing the Emporia Police Department’s records system. The money from the Department of Justice is given to law enforcement agencies and community groups in Kansas, U.S. Attorney Lanny Welch said.
“These grants will help us fight crime in Kansas,” Welch said. “Some of the money goes to train and equip law enforcement officers. In addition, a significant amount is set aside for the support of programs that are involved in building communities and preventing crime.”
Nearly 50 agencies in Kansas received a portion of the money.
