Washington DC<\/strong> – Continuing efforts to make sure Oregon law enforcement have the resources and personnel to effectively fight crime and protect victims, Oregon Senators Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Jeff Merkley (D- Ore.) announced that projects to boost public safety programs throughout the state are included in a bill passed by the Senate Appropriations committee today.<\/p>\n

“Oregon must have the resources to effectively fight increasingly sophisticated criminals,” Wyden said. “This funding will put the tools for success in the hands of Oregon’s law enforcement agencies as well as help to protect crime victims promoting justice throughout the process.”<\/p>\n

“This bill will help provide Oregon’s public safety officers with the tools necessary to keep our families and children safe,” said Merkley. “The funding announced today will aid crime victims, including the most vulnerable among us – our children.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Senate Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriations bill is expected to be considered by the full Senate and upon passage will be reconciled with the version passed by the House of Representatives and sent to the President for his signature.
