(KNZA)--Nearly $2.4 million is secured to benefit 27 Kansas agencies in order to strengthen law enforcement, prevent crime, and support crime victims.

That’s according to a release from the office of Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, who says the “grants will provide...law enforcement officers and criminal justice agencies with the resources they need to fight crime and support victims.”

According to the release, the funding is made available through the Federal Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program.

Three agencies in the local region are selected as funding recipients, with two based in Leavenworth County. The Basehor Police Department receives $83,242 while the Brothers in Blue Reentry program gains $198,749.

In Marshall County, $46,368 is earmarked for the Marysville Police Department.

The Kansas Criminal Justice Coordinating Council oversees the federal criminal justice funding made available to Kansas through the U.S. Department of Justice.
