WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar announced Friday that southwest Minnesota municipalities will receive $121,782 for law enforcement efforts as part of the recently passed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Minnesota will receive more than $29 million in federal funding in Byrne Grants to help save and create jobs for law enforcement.
