New grants would help fight fentanyl sales on social media and protect communities.
This bill would set aside $15 million. These funds would help state and local police stop online drug sales, fund non-profits for public awareness, and provide equipment to protect officers.
Today, the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 lacks specific grant programs to combat fentanyl poisonings. This includes efforts related to social media intervention, public awareness, or officer protection. If this bill passes, it would create three new grant programs with $15 million set aside. This includes $10 million for police to fight online drug sales. It also includes $3 million for non-profits to run public awareness campaigns (with grants up to $50,000), and $2 million for police to protect officers from fentanyl exposure.
