Money granted to 2 local law enforcement agencies to reduce crime
(WKBN) – Two local law enforcement agencies will be getting state money to help reduce crime. The Mahoning County Sheriff's Office is getting $35,000, while the Austintown Township Police Department is getting over $14,000. 'By supporting local law enforcement with assistance from new technology and equipment, at the same time we also help our communities to be safer places to live, work, and raise a family,' Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel said. It's part of the Ohio Violent Crime Reduction Grant Program, which provides funding for targeted programs and enhanced technology that help prevent and solve violent crimes. The money will also help pay for investigative overtime costs, new technology to support crime reduction and targeted patrols in high-crime areas, among other things. 'The crime reduction strategies funded by this latest round of grants are all focused on protecting residents and making communities safer,' Governor Mike DeWine said. A levy for the Austintown Police Department failed last fall, which has led to cuts. Another levy will be put on the ballot this November. The state is investing $3 million total across Ohio in this latest effort to reduce violent crime. Since the grant program started in 2021, over $84 million has been awarded to nearly 200 local law enforcement agencies. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
