## Summary

**Reauthorizes and expands the Project Safe Neighborhoods grant program to fund analysts, overtime, technology, and multi-jurisdictional task forces.** It would sharpen violent crime reduction by clarifying who grants can pay and by increasing reporting on how funds are used. - Communities: Would fund community engagement and prevention work and require annual Attorney General reports to congressional judiciary committees on expenditures, outreach, and counts and descriptions of violent crimes including murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. - Law enforcement and prosecutors: Grants could hire "crime analysts" and "law enforcement assistants", cover overtime for officers and prosecutors, and pay for technology that supports violent crime reduction. - Task forces: Renames and strengthens task force support and explicitly authorizes support for multi-jurisdictional task forces. - Funding: Extends the program's authorization through fiscal years 2026 to 2030 and keeps its nationwide scope and four core components: community engagement, prevention and intervention, focused enforcement, and accountability.
