ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce received a Department of Justice grant designed to streamline the process of prosecuting criminals in Bernalillo County and eventually around the state.
The chamber announced Tuesday that it received a $1.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, which will go toward developing two tools designed to help the Bernalillo County District Attorney’s office analyze and prioritize the criminal cases it receives.
While a chamber taking the lead on a crime initiative may seem unorthodox, Terri Cole, president and CEO, said the grant program fits in the organization’s focus on making Albuquerque safer.
