Governor Kathy Hochul today highlighted nearly $39 million in state funding for law enforcement agencies and community-based organizations in Monroe County and directed the New York State Police to deploy additional resources to further reduce gun violence and crime in the City of Rochester. The State Police will commit an additional 25 troopers and investigators to enhance their existing partnerships with the cell Rochester Police Department and other law enforcement agencies in the county to address public safety concerns. Law enforcement agencies in the county have also received a total of $24 million to purchase new technology and equipment to improve data and information sharing and enhance their crime-fighting capabilities, the largest state investment in any county eligible for funding.

“As I have said since day one, the safety of all New Yorkers is my top priority, and that is why we are here in Rochester to ensure this community and local law enforcement have the resources they need to keep the public safe,” Governor Hochul said. “While we have seen great progress in reducing crime overall in Rochester, Monroe County and across the State, there is more to be done. I have directed the State Police to offer more personnel to support the City of Rochester Police Department and we are funding local law enforcement at a record level so that they have the latest tools and equipment to prevent crime and solve them fast when they do happen.”

Governor Hochul joined Rochester Mayor Malik Evans, Police Chief David Smith, Monroe County Sheriff Todd Baxter, State Police Superintendent Steven G. James and members from the Rochester State Delegation at Rochester City Hall this morning to detail her administration’s commitment to providing local law enforcement agencies and community-based organizations with record-level state funding, allowing them to further drive down crime and increase opportunities for youth and families.
