Project Safe Neighborhoods Reauthorization Act of 2025

This legislation, known as the Project Safe Neighborhoods Reauthorization Act of 2025, aims to extend and enhance the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Grant Program. It reauthorizes the program's funding through fiscal years 2026 through 2030 , ensuring continued support for this nationwide initiative that brings together various stakeholders to address crime. The bill expands the permissible uses of PSN grant funds to bolster violent crime reduction efforts. Grantees will now be able to use funds for hiring crime analysts , covering overtime costs for law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and law enforcement assistants, and investing in technology to aid in crime reduction. Additionally, the legislation specifically allows for the support of multi-jurisdictional task forces , recognizing their role in collaborative law enforcement. To ensure accountability and oversight, the bill mandates annual transparency reports from the Attorney General to Congress. These reports must detail how funds were spent, the community outreach efforts undertaken, and provide statistics on violent crime offenses in areas where the program operates.
