 Amador County - Amador County can expect to see $35,659 from money allocated for law enforcement through the recently approved Federal Stimulus Package. Nearly $225 million is heading to law enforcement offices across the county. “Funds included in the economic stimulus package for law enforcement grants are vitally important as California struggles through its economic woes,” Democratic Rep. Sam Farr of Carmel, said in a news release. Neighboring Calaveras County will receive $35,659, and Tuolumne County will receive $55,945. According to a release from Senator Barbara Boxer, “Specifically, the Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant program funds will be used to fund critical state and local law enforcement efforts, including community gang prevention programs, anti-drug task forces, and assistance for victims of crime. The grants can be utilized for training, personnel and equipment to further law enforcement programs.” Story by Alex Lane
