HARRISBURG- The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) announced 31 new law enforcement agencies have been selected to receive Law Enforcement Recruitment grant funding, bringing the total number of accepted applicants to 51 since the solicitation in October 2023.
“Every Pennsylvanian deserves to feel safe in their communities, and making sure communities have enough police officers on the beat is a key component for public safety,” said Lt. Gov. Austin Davis, chair of PCCD.“Through this funding law enforcement entities can fill gaps which will in turn improve safety in our communities.”
So far through PCCD’s Law Enforcement Recruitment Incentives solicitation, 51 selected entities are receiving a combined total of just over $2 million in funding to hire and train approximately 412 vacant law enforcement positions across the Commonwealth. The Borough of Waynesboro was awarded $15,000.
