“In cities across America, violent crime and public disorder have surged over the past few years. Policies that have weakened and demoralized law enforcement, limited the prosecution of crimes, and de-emphasized holding criminals accountable have resulted in a climate of fear and instability for law-abiding Americans. Communities cannot thrive when their citizens do not feel safe. Recent surges of federal law enforcement in cities like Memphis, Tennessee, and Washington, DC have demonstrated the successes that the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Trump Administration have had when” and blah blah blah says the Trump Regime DOJ in the “Model Cities Initiative” intro.

“To Make America Safe Again by continuing and expanding the successes seen in Memphis and Washington, DC, DOJ is seeking applications for the Model Cities Initiative (‘MCI’). A model city implements comprehensive and innovative strategies to reduce crime, restore law and order, and serve as a nationwide example. It leverages technology, data, and partnerships to address drivers of crime. This initiative will provide substantial, targeted funding to select cities to realize this vision.”

“Funding awarded through MCI will emphasize common sense policing, including prioritizing deterrence through proactive policing and increasing police activity in high crime areas. Funding will also encourage the adoption of new technologies – including drones and artificial intelligence – and modern methods to track criminal behavior and gather intelligence. Additionally, recognizing that keeping cities safe requires a whole-of-community approach, MCI will provide funding to help cities build forensic and prosecutorial capacity, support victims, reduce recidivism, and address substance use and mental health challenges tied to public safety outcomes,” the program marketing continued.

And yes, “sanctuary cities” and any city with “DEI” hiring practices shouldn’t even bother.
