Cornyn announces federal funding boost for Lubbock law enforcement

The U.S. Department of Justice formally awarded the City of Lubbock $219,215, as confirmed by Senator John Cornyn's office. This grant, secured by Senator Cornyn, will fund technology upgrades and public safety enhancements across the city. For example, new body cameras for officers near Buddy Holly Hall, enhanced forensics equipment for the main station, or upgraded communication systems could be purchased.

The money comes from the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program, which directly supports local law enforcement. This support helps police keep streets secure and protect residents and visitors.

For everyone living and working here, this means our police department gains essential tools.
