The Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (GEMA/HS) was appropriated $1,250,000 in the FY24 State of Georgia budget for a competitive Gang Activity Prosecution Grant (GAP Grant.)

 

 

The GAP Grant applications were made open to law enforcement agencies, prosecuting attorneys, and nonprofits primarily focused on gang prosecutions in the State of Georgia. Applications had to show a commitment to successful prosecutions of gang activity. GEMA/HS received 46 submissions during the September 23-October 18 application window totaling $3,140,717.

 

 

Director Chris Stallings said of the awards “I am pleased to provide critical resources to local communities across Georgia to take on the sweeping gang epidemic facing our great state. None of this would have been possible without the leadership of Governor Kemp and our elected officials in the State House and Senate. These projects will strengthen our prosecuting attorneys and law enforcement’s ability to keep all Georgians safe.”

 

 

Award letters are being sent to the 34 selected organizations with further details. After a careful and thorough evaluation process, GEMA/HS has selected the following 34 organizations to award for the FY24 GAP Grant:

 

• Atlantic Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office
• Atlanta Police Department
