"The pandemic has shined an even brighter spotlight on the incredible, life-saving work our first responders do every day. The FY21 government funding bill invests in programs and policies to support police and fire departments."

"That includes grant programs that help departments purchase equipment, conduct training, and hire personnel."

"The bill maintains our focus on investigation, treatment & prosecution of child abuse cases. I've been proud to champion legislation to ensure children's advocacy centers have resources they need to serve child abuse victims & help law enforcement hold perpetrators accountable"

"The legislation supports improved coordination between local, state, and federal law enforcement to better combat major drug-trafficking organizations."

"And, in addition to our continued support for the drug-free communities programs and drug-court programs, the bill makes a new investment in an initiative to help address the root causes of recidivism."

"In a tight fiscal environment, these are all areas where smart, targeted federal investment goes a long way toward supporting state and local agencies and the important work they do to make our communities stronger and safer."
