State and local governments, educators, nonprofit organizations, and other agencies will be able to apply for law enforcement educational grants from the Governor’s Office.
“The goal is to improve public safety and support victims of crime by filling gaps in the region via funding that promotes innovative solutions to regional problems,” ETCOG’s Public Safety Director Stephanie Heffner said in a press release. “We help applicants understand what needs to go into their grant applications and what they have to track once they receive funding from the state, so we can successfully bring public safety projects to East Texas.”
