Project Safe Neighborhoods Reauthorization Act of 2025
Summary
What This Bill Does
The Project Safe Neighborhoods Reauthorization Act updates a national violent-crime reduction grant program operating in all 94 federal judicial districts. It defines crime analysts and law enforcement assistants, adds hiring crime analysts, law enforcement assistant costs, overtime, and multi-jurisdictional task-force support to eligible uses of Project Safe Neighborhoods funds, and names the task-force provision for Officer Ella Grace French and Sergeant Jim Smith. It also requires the Attorney General to report annually to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees for each program area, detailing how funds were spent, community outreach efforts, and the number and description of violent crime offenses such as murder, non-negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault.
Who Benefits and How
Local law enforcement agencies benefit because grant funds can support crime analysts, assistants, overtime, and task forces. Federal prosecutors benefit from stronger Project Safe Neighborhoods partnerships in each judicial district. Community leaders benefit from required outreach reporting and continued prevention and intervention work. Crime analysts benefit because the bill makes their hiring an explicit eligible use of funds.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Department of Justice grant staff must update eligible-use rules and administer annual reporting. Attorney General reporting offices must compile spending, outreach, and violent-crime offense data for each program area. Federal taxpayers bear the cost of continued Project Safe Neighborhoods grants. Grant recipients must document spending, outreach, and offense data for transparency reports.

- Creates definitions for crime analysts and law enforcement assistants.
- Expands eligible Project Safe Neighborhoods grant uses to analysts, assistants, overtime, and task-force support.
