On September 21st, 2015, Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced more than $107 million in grant funding through the Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) COPS Hiring Program (CHP). Summit Strategies’ client, Tukwila, Washington, will receive a grant of $250,000 over three years to support their police force.
