Grant funding breakdown available here.

Las Vegas, Nev. - Today, U.S. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) announced more than $20 million in new federal funding they secured to improve public safety in Nevada. These funds from the Department of Justice (DOJ) will support state, local, and Tribal law enforcement, courts, and services for victims of crime and abuse across Nevada. The full list of DOJ grants Sens. Cortez Masto and Rosen helped secure is available here.

"Every Nevadan deserves to feel safe in their home and in their community, and that's what this funding is about," said Cortez Masto. "I will always stand proudly with law enforcement and advocates in Nevada to hold criminals accountable, keep our communities safe, and deliver the support and justice that victims deserve."

"One of my top priorities in the U.S. Senate is to deliver the resources to keep Nevada families safe," said Senator Rosen. "This funding will help advance public safety, support victims, and fight crime across our state - including in our rural and Tribal communities. I'll always work across the aisle to support our law enforcement and public safety."

Senators Cortez Masto and Rosen consistently push for the resources Nevada's law enforcement community needs. Last week, they announced nearly $1 million in COPS funding for Nevada police, on top of the $1 million in COPS funding they secured in 2023. Recently, they also highlighted nearly $1 million in federal community project funding to provide mental health training and support to thousands of firefighters, law enforcement officers, and first responders. Both Senators also helped reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act last year, which provides critical support to victims of domestic violence across the country.
