Committee Meeting | PSJ&HS - April 8, 2026

The Wayne County Commission's Committee on Public Safety, Judiciary, and Homeland Security met on April 8, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included approval to extend the JAG 2022 grant period without additional funds, allowing communities more time to submit reimbursement requests for the remaining $1.44 million. The committee emphasized the importance of communities utilizing these funds before the September 30, 2026 deadline to avoid clawbacks. Additionally, the meeting featured a detailed presentation by Prosecutor Kim Worthy and her team on domestic violence prosecution efforts, including a new pilot program called Survivors First. This program aims to divert low-level, non-violent offenders who are survivors of gender-based violence into community-based trauma-informed services, potentially avoiding criminal records. While no immediate funding requests were made for this program, future budget considerations were noted. The meeting concluded with public comments and adjournment motions.
