Yesterday, U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) announced the Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) awarded more than $1.4 million in grants to the state of North Carolina to advance and support office recruitment and retention, crisis intervention, de-escalation training, and provide technical assistance to law enforcement agencies. “Law enforcement officers risk their lives every single day to keep our communities safe, and they deserve training and resources that help them handle the most difficult situations,” said Senator Tillis. “This funding will provide necessary resources and training that will improve safety for law enforcement officers and I applaud the DOJ for their investment in North Carolina’s brave men and women.”
