This amendment removes the increase of $6.8 million from the general fund the first year proposed in the introduced budget for the School Resource Officer Incentive Grants Fund in light of significant cash balances in the Fund. In order to best utilize existing cash balances for one-time purposes, budget language directs the Department of Criminal Justice Services to designate from the nongeneral fund balances of: (i) up to $6.2 million, dependent on grant applications, for a digital mapping program for public colleges and universities, which supports visual communication technology and collaboration tools to coordinate emergency response; and (ii) up to $1.5 million, dependent on grant applications, for fifth- and sixth-year continuation grants for school resource officers and school safety officers, as a temporary exception to the four-year grant period. |

This amendment provides $350,000 from the general fund the first year and $5.5 million from the general fund the second year for community violence reduction grants in additional localities. Out of the Firearm Violence Intervention and Prevention Fund, $350,000 in one-time funding supports the VICTOR Program, a gun violence prevention pilot, and $2.0 million in one-time funding supports the City of Chesapeake. Funding in the second year includes $2.5 million for Hampton and $2.5 million for Newport News through the Safer Communities program. Language prohibits Safer Communities program fiscal year 2026 grants from being used for school resource officers and directs grant recipients to prioritize community-led solutions. |
