BEAVER COUNTY — Hundreds of thousands of dollars will be used to help reduce crime and protect victims in Beaver County.
More than $702,000 was granted to Beaver County to protect crime survivors and at-risk youth. The money will also improve the county’s probation and parole services to prevent future crimes.
“Beaver County has a strong network of local officials, criminal justice workers and social service professionals committed to protecting the rights of crime survivors and at-risk youth and providing successful probation and parole resources,” Rep. Rob Matzie said. “But the programs they administer require a steady flow of resources. The new funding will ensure those supports continue.”
This is how Matzie said the money will be divided:
- $266,977 to Beaver County Commissioners to strengthen adult probation and parole services.
- $250,000 to The Prevention Network to support the ongoing delivery of intervention, prevention, education and treatment services for at-risk youth.
- $138,240 to Beaver County Commissioners to support programs aimed at protecting crime victims’ rights.
- $47,000 to A Child’s Place to support services involving identification, prevention and prosecution of child abuse.
The money came from a grant provided by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency.
