York City Police received a $45,036 federal grant, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey announced Tuesday.

Money from the Department of Justice's Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant will be used to further law enforcement efforts in the city, according to a new release from Casey's office.

Grant money can be used for a variety of efforts, such as hiring law enforcement officers, supporting drug and gang task forces, funding crime prevention and domestic violence programs, and supporting courts, corrections, treatment, and justice information-sharing initiatives.
