Rep. Stansbury Joins Delegation to Welcome $21 Million to Tackle Crime, Keep Communities Safe
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) joined U.S. Senators Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), and Representatives Teresa Leger Fernández (D-NM) and Gabe Vasquez (D-NM) are welcoming $20,706,897 from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to help New Mexico’s law enforcement solve crimes, support survivor services, improve violence prevention, and keep communities safe.
The grants will be distributed through the DOJ’s Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) and the Office of Justice Programs (OJP).
“This almost $21 million investment into our communities is crucial in making New Mexico a safer place for everyone,” said Rep. Stansbury. “Victims of crimes deserve justice, and law enforcement needs the tools to give victims that justice. This funding is pivotal in achieving that goal.”
“I’m proud to announce over $20 million to better equip New Mexico’s law enforcement with the tools and resources needed to keep our communities safe. This significant investment will help tackle crime, hold dangerous criminals accountable, and deliver justice and support for survivors,” said Sen. Heinrich. “A safer New Mexico depends on solving crimes and supporting survivors, and I will continue to fight for the resources we need for both.”
“This nearly $21 million in federal funding will deliver critical resources to help law enforcement solve crimes, support victims of violent crime, and boost violence prevention across New Mexico,” said Sen. Luján. “I’m proud to welcome this federal funding and I will keep fighting for federal resources to keep New Mexico communities safe.”
“1 in 4 women have been beaten by an intimate partner in their lifetime. This funding from the Department of Justice focuses on providing more services to the survivors of domestic violence survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking,” said Rep. Leger Fernández. “To effectively investigate and prosecute these crimes, the grants also increase the resources going to law enforcement. I’m pleased that the funding benefits communities across my district, from the Pueblos to Santa Fe to Hobbs to our state agencies. Together we keep New Mexico safe.”
“I’m proud to welcome over $20 million for law enforcement organizations across our state and Tribal communities. This funding will support law enforcement’s ability to reduce crime, make our neighborhoods safer and ensure justice for victims,” said Rep. Vasquez. “Our law enforcement officers and community organizations are working tirelessly, and this investment will help them continue to protect and serve New Mexicans. I’m committed to fighting for more federal resources to keep us safe.”
