Crime and delinquency commission allocates funds

Lt. Gov. Austin Davis lead the Shapiro administration’s first meeting of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency on Wednesday, March 8.

A news release from Davis’ office said the commission approved a $1.8 million local law enforcement support grant to Temple University for gunshot detection, license plate readers, retention and recruitment bonuses, training and CCTV cameras.

Shapiro’s proposed budget would invest $105 million in state funding for violence intervention and prevention grants, provide $10 million through the commission and the Criminal Justice Advisory Committee for indigent defense and invest an additional $4 million in county adult probation and parole services, each through the Commission on Crime and Delinquency, the news release said.
