- That’s a quote from a White House fact sheet released yesterday detailing President Biden’s proposed Safer America Plan. More from the fact sheet: “The Plan establishes a new $15 billion grant program called Accelerating Justice System Reform that cities and states can use over the next 10 years to advance strategies that will: (1) prevent violent crime and/or (2) ease the burden on police officers by identifying non-violent situations that may merit a public health response or other response. It also invests an additional $5 billion in evidence-based community violence intervention programs.”
