“I am delighted that the Michigan Department of State Police has been awarded a grant of more than $96,000 through the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program of the Department of Justice,” said Conyers.
“This vital funding will help the Michigan Department of State Police use data analysis to reduce crime and improve public safety. In addition, this grant money will be used to hire more staff and safety personnel.
