$338,000 to Support Delinquency Prevention

The Commonwealth’s Criminal Justice Planning Agency has been awarded two Department of Justice grants to support delinquency prevention efforts and strengthen the CNMI’s criminal justice programs. CJPA received $238,550 through the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program to support crime prevention efforts and enhance criminal justice initiatives across the Commonwealth. CJPA also received $99,190 from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to support juvenile justice and delinquency prevention programs for youth throughout the Marianas. These awards will help sustain community-based services, support law enforcement and juvenile justice initiatives, and expand programs focused on improving public safety outcomes across the CNMI. Congratulations to CJPA for securing these important resources and continuing its work to serve our communities.
