North Country Rep. Stefanik applauds resumption of DOJ Equitable Sharing Payments to local law enforcement

Posted

Congresswoman Elise Stefanik R-Willsboro applauded the news that the Department of Justice is resuming payments made to local law enforcement agencies through the Equitable Sharing Program:

“This is great news for the North Country as our local law enforcement depends on these critical funds to keep our community safe,” Stefanik said. “Providing law enforcement with the tools they need is important for public safety and crime prevention, and I will continue to work to make sure these critical funds are available.”

The Department of Justice’s Equitable Sharing program splits assets seized under civil forfeiture laws with local and state law enforcement.

Congresswoman Stefanik has been working with local law enforcement to resolve the suspension of this program.
