FY 2007 Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN) - State of Hawaii

Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a nationwide commitment to reducing gun crime, links existing local programs together and provides them with necessary tools. PSN 1) takes a hard line against gun criminals, using every available means to create safer neighborhoods; 2) seeks to achieve heightened coordination among federal, state, and local law enforcement; and 3) emphasizes tactical intelligence gathering, more aggressive prosecutions, and enhanced accountability through performance measures. The United States Attorney in each federal judicial district will lead the offensive. The fiscal agent, in coordination with the PSN Task Force, will allocate funds throughout the community.

The Hawaii Department of the Attorney General will use their FY07 PSN funds to fight gun crime in the District of Hawaii. The District will hold a competitive funding funding process to determine sub-recipient awards based on their strategy.
