Rep. Jim Haddock September 13, 2024
HARRISBURG, Sept. 13 – Building on his already strong commitment to keeping communities safe, state Rep. Jim Haddock said he was glad to see $106,760 awarded this week by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency to local police departments.
“These grants will give our municipal law enforcement officers up-to-date technology, which will allow them to file more accurate reports with the FBI’s National Incident-Based Reporting System and ultimately will give them better information when responding to emergency situations,” said Haddock, D-Luzerne/Lackawanna.
The following police departments in the 118th Legislative District will receive $13,345 grants for the software, hardware, and labor needed to install NIBRS-compliant record management systems as well as training on how to collect and submit the data: Avoca Borough, Dupont Borough, Duryea Borough, Hughestown Borough, Jenkins Township, Pittston City, Pittston Township and Wyoming Area Regional Police.
Haddock said PCCD this week approved $80 million to improve crime reporting, help law enforcement upgrade equipment, support victims of crime and victim service providers, and support county jail-based medication-assisted treatment for individuals with substance use disorder. A full list of this week’s action is available here.
