Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2008, $95,396)
Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a nationwide commitment to reducing gun crime, links existing local programs together and provides them with necessary tools. PSN takes a hard line against gun criminals, using every available means to create safer neighborhoods; seeks to achieve heightened coordination among federal, state, and local law enforcement; and 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, serving as the fiscal agent for the District of Hawaii, will use the FY 2008 Project Safe Neighborhoods grant to fight gun violence and gun crime. The district will hold a competitive funding process to determine sub-recipient awards based on their strategy.
