Senator Coons boosts funding for law enforcement programs in annual spending bill

Press Release

U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee and co-chair of the Senate Law Enforcement caucus, successfully pushed increased funding for critical law enforcement programs in the annual spending bill for the Department of Justice. The spending bill, which Senator Coons helped pass through the Appropriations Committee yesterday, will now go before the full Senate.

"Supporting Delaware law enforcement and keeping our communities safe is one of my top priorities, but to do that, the federal government needs to provide strong federal funding in the annual spending bills," said Senator Coons. "The Appropriations process is far from over, but I'm very glad that we were able to boost funding for critical law enforcement programs in the Appropriations Committee."
