Funds to benefit programs relating to anti-human trafficking, opioids education, and more.
Niagara Regional Police is getting some money from the Ontario government.
The NRP is getting over $9.6 million over three year for five public safety and community policing initiatives.
Funds will benefit projects that focus on human trafficking, opioids education and enforcement, people in crisis, community oriented response and engagement and the real time operations centre.
"These new provincial grants will greatly assist efforts by the Niagara Regional Police Service to keep our community safe and secure," said Sam Oosterhoff, MPP for Niagara West. "All five local policing programs have a direct impact on public safety and protecting vulnerable communities in Niagara."
The money will flow through the province's Community Safety and Policing Grant program.
