$30-M In Stimulus For Public Safety In GA

Georgia law enforcement is getting an infusion of more than $36-million in federal stimulus dollars to help boost state and local public safety programs. Officials with Georgia’s Criminal Justice Coordinating Council say the money will go to victim and witness assistance programs that have been hit hard by budget cuts. The money is designed to shore up public safety programs while spurring job creation and retention. Attorney General Eric Holder says the cash will address Georgia's economic challenges while also meeting the state's public safety priorities.
