Nevada will receive part of a $10 million federal grant to prosecute those accused of violent crimes with the unlawful use of firearms.
Clark County Social Services will receive $500,000 to integrate intelligence, technology and community engagement to increase public safety.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions made the announcement Monday during the National Public Safety Partnership Symposium on Violent Crime in Birmingham, Alabama.
The National Public Safety Partnership is a Justice Department initiative that enables cities to receive a coordinated array of resources from the DOJ.
In a statement, the department said that while many jurisdictions are making progress implementing justice information sharing, there remain challenges for the criminal justice system to respond to threats to public safety.
