3:17 PM Police department awarded grants By: Web Staff
CAPITAL REGION, N.Y. -- Three Capital Region police departments are getting state money to help fight crime.
Governor Andrew Cuomo is handing out roughly $13 million in grants to 17 counties throughout New York State. The funding was awarded through Operation IMPACT to help target gun and domestic violence.
Locally, Albany, Troy and Schenectady Police departments will each get between $250,000 to $500,000.
Good thing nobody has to pay anything for this money.
SCHENECTADY COUNTY The Schenectady Police Department receives funding for a crime analyst and two field intelligence officers. The Schenectady County District Attorney’s Office funds two assistant district attorneys; one is the grand jury Bureau Chief, the other is the Bureau Chief of intelligence. Both the Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office and Probation Department use a portion of their funding for dedicated field intelligence officers. All funded partners receive resources that allow them to participate in joint operations. Schenectady County targeted its strategy to reduce firearm‐related and gang‐related violence. The Gun Violence Reduction Strategy (GVRS) is a multi‐pronged strategy with a focus on impacting gun possession and gun related crime and violence in both the short and long term. Components of the strategy include: continued collaboration among the Schenectady Police Department and other agencies, identification of intervention areas and high‐risk offenders, continued use of the directed patrol unit, utilization of CompStat to drive the Office of Field Intelligence; and multi‐agency Gang Reduction Education and Training (GREAT). The G.R.E.A.T. Program is a school‐based, law enforcement officer‐instructed classroom curriculum. With prevention as its primary objective, the program is designed to prevent against delinquency, youth violence, and gang membership.

Crime prevention? That's rich. Do they think that Schenectady is going to do anything other than piss that money away?
They're probably picking upholstery colors for their new Tahoes at this very minute.
How damn insulting your ill-informed and RIDICULOUS YOUR COMMENT IS!!! Everyone knows that they only make gray interiors for Tahoes now!
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
And the Renaissance keeps rolling along! ......set to the tune of the Caisson Song!
I cannot believe he can say this. Does he really think it's free money?
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
