NASHVILLE, Tenn. \u2013 The Department of Justice Tuesday announced that it is awarding more than $1.3 million to the State of Tennessee to meet critical law enforcement needs in the aftermath of last year\u2019s Christmas Day bombing<\/a> in Nashville. The funds are made available under the Emergency Federal Law Enforcement Assistance Program administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, a division of the Department\u2019s Office of Justice Programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese funds are a welcome relief and come at a most critical time for our partners at the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department\u201d, said Acting U.S. Attorney Mary Jane Stewart. \u201cThe number of critical incidents responded to in 2020, all of which required a sustained and long-term response, greatly impacted the operational budget of our district\u2019s largest municipal police department. These funds will help offset deficits and allow police operations to continue without major interruption.\u201d<\/p>\n

On December 25, 2020, a man detonated an explosive device inside a recreational vehicle in downtown Nashville<\/a>. The incident resulted in the suspect’s death and injured eight citizens. The explosion damaged dozens of buildings in the surrounding area. Already fiscally impacted by the pandemic, the response to community-wide demonstrations and the effects of a devastating tornado earlier in the year, the city will use this grant to cover unbudgeted law enforcement duties, including overtime expenses, that have placed considerable financial hardship on the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe explosion in downtown Nashville and the serious damage and injury it caused, on what should have been a day of peace and reflection for many, served as a stark reminder that the safety of our communities can never be taken for granted,\u201d said OJP Acting Assistant Attorney General Maureen A. Henneberg. \u201cThese resources will help defray the costs associated with law enforcement\u2019s role in responding to this shocking and terrifying public safety emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
