Southern California Congresswoman Secures Funds to Fight Crime in San Diego
According to a June 19 press release, San Diego Congresswoman Susan Davis has helped to secure a guarantee $1.9 million for the City of San Diego to combat crime. The House Bill in question, HR 2847, is set to head to the Senate for review after it passed the House of Representatives by a wide margin, 259 to 157.
Representative Davis claims that the money can be used for a wide variety of San Diego crime fighting purposes. A breakdown of the monies follows:
• $350,000 earmarked for a Crime Lab Technology for the city.
• $200,000 to help the County’s DA to track gang and drug investigations and to purchase breathalyzers for police fieldwork.
• $200,000 to support a program designed to help officers in the streets coordinate anti-gang actions and to tamp down on violent crime
• $1.2 million to update data sharing systems among San Diego officers and update local, California, and Federal communication efforts.
These monies are part of a much broader Congressional package known collectively as the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, that also include funding to combat global warming and nearly $7 billion in a National Science Foundation money.
While better technologies for San Diego law enforcement agents will hopefully lead to improved coordination and a reduction in violent crime in the city, individuals arrested for crimes in Southern California may have a more difficult time exonerating themselves in the future.
