The plan prioritizes emergency first responders over traditional policing, consolidating programs under a Justice Assistance Grant with performance accountability. It also includes 3.5 billion for local first responders, funding protective and medical equipment, detection tools, training, and communications upgrades, plus information-sharing investments and
