U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) announced that the Irving Police Department and Dallas Police Department have been awarded federal grants totaling nearly $350,000 through the DOJ’s Community Policing Development Microgrants and Accreditation program.

The Irving PD will receive $85,105, while the Dallas PD is set to receive $250,000. The grants aim to support innovative crime-fighting strategies, officer recruitment and retention, and strengthen community-police relations.

“Texans’ loyalties lie with our brave men and women in law enforcement, and they deserve to have every tool at their disposal to ensure our communities are safe and secure,” said Sen. Cornyn. “I’m proud to back the blue, and I look forward to seeing how these much-needed resources that I helped to secure will empower law enforcement to fight crime and improve public safety for communities across North Texas.”
