Governor Josh Shapiro is touting investments into law enforcement that have seen over 1,000 law enforcement officers hired during his governorship.
The 2024-25 bipartisan Pennsylvania budget saw 400 State Troopers hired and another 700 local police officers hired through grant funding.
The budget also saw $45 million for community-based violence prevention, $11.5 million for after-school learning to prevent violence for young people, $5 million to help protect places of worship, and $2.5 million to the PA Department of Human Services for domestic violence services.
An additional $5 million was also added to the Victims Compensation Assistance Program to increase the funding to $65 million for over 76,000 claims across the Commonwealth.
