WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) – chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice and Science – today announced that Kansas will receive $4 million in grants from the Department of Justice’s COPS Hiring Program (CHP) for 15 law enforcement departments across Kansas.
“These grants will help Kansas communities hire additional officers to make certain the departments are properly staffed to meet the needs of their communities,” said Sen.
