Patterson <br />Cabarrus County Sheriffs Office <br />Post Office Box 525 <br />Concord, North Carolina 28026 <br /> <br />Dear Captain Patterson: <br /> <br /> The Governor's Crime Commission has completed another successful grant awards process. This <br />administration has worked diligently, through this process, to address the major crime problems which plague <br />our communities. Drug conlrol and substance abuse programs have been implemented throughout the state and <br />have been successful in lowering the state's crime rate. Juvenile prevention programs have targeted at-risk <br />youth before they become ensnared in criminal behavior while juvenile intervention projects have focused on <br />helping those youth who have a~___dy come into contact with the juvenile justice ~tstem. Domestic violence <br />initiatives have been sim~d in order to break the destructive cycle of family violenc~ and to reach out and help <br />the many victims of this t~rrible crime. Finally, information and technology programs have enabled countless <br />agencies to improve their managemmat information systems and consequently enhanc~ their criminal history <br />r~cords. <br /> <br /> Funding decisions are always difficult, given the large numbers of stTong applications we receive each <br />year. Commission members spend countless numbers of hours considering each application in an effort to <br />select programs and projects that will best serve the citizens ofthis state as we strive to reduce crime and <br />improve safety. Having said this, I mn pleased to inform you that your applic~ion was among those that wer~ <br />approved. Funding for your project has been authorized in the amount of $58,500.00. Your official award and <br />further instruotions will be mailed separately by the Commission and should arrive shortly. <br /> <br /> Again, your program is a shining example of how we, working together, can have far-roaching impact <br />on the problems that plague our communing. We commend you for your dedication, hard work and <br />commitment to safer communities and brighter opportunities for families across North Carolina. <br /> <br />With kindest regards, I remain <br /> <br />MFE:cl <br /> <br />Very truly yoUrSey~ <br /> <br />LOCATiOn: 116 W~ST Josgs S~rr * R~L~ICn, NC · T£LZimONZ: (919) 733-5811 <br /> <br /> <br />
