The government is now accepting applications for Safer and Vital Communities Grants as well as the Proceeds of Crime - Front Line Policing Grant. In total these two granting programs will disburse $3.7 million in funding to municipalities to support crime prevention and alternatives to incarceration. This year's grants are targeted towards "collaborative and innovative projects that address local community safety priorities as well as projects that increase diversion opportunities, reduce the likelihood of re-offending, and facilitate better reintegration outcomes."
