Four U.S. Cities to Receive Nearly $300 Million in Federal Funding to Combat Violent Crime
The Justice Department chose Jacksonville for a multiyear program that will fund forensic tools, crime centers and victim services, officials said.
- The Justice Department awarded Jackson $100 million through the Model Cities Initiative to modernize public-safety infrastructure and implement a proactive, intelligence-led safety model over three years.
- Launched under the Trump administration's Make America Safe Again mission, the initiative distributes nearly $300 million among four selected cities using a whole-of-city approach requiring mayors, sheriffs, and prosecutors to coordinate strategies.
- Jackson will replace its deteriorated facility with a new Jackson Public Safety Forensic center and integrate its Real-Time Command Center and gunshot-detection arrays to position the city as "the City that Responds Before it Arrives."
- Mayor John Horhn emphasized that "reducing violent crime requires a unified effort across every sector," noting the initiative brings public safety partners and community organizations together to improve resident quality of life.
- Funding will address officer vacancies with competitive compensation while modernizing civilian roles in intelligence, dispatch, and technical analysis to sustain the safety model over the three-year investment period.
