加州公路巡警拨款逾4,100万美元打击药驾酒驾 183个机构与实验室受助

加州公路巡警(CHP)宣布,向全州183个执法机构、犯罪实验室、地方政府机构与非营利组织拨付超过4,100万美元拨款,加强预防与减少药物、酒精影响下驾驶的工作。
这笔资金来自选民通过的第64号提案:该提案要求公路巡警管理用于 impaired driving 教育、预防与执法项目的拨款,并资助犯罪实验室的法医毒理检测;项目收入来自加州销售的大麻及大麻产品税收。其中160个执法机构获得拨款,用于执法行动、培训药物识别评估人员、提升识别药物影响驾驶者的能力,并通过社区活动与宣讲开展公众教育。
公路巡警局长 Sean Duryee 表示:「今年拨款大幅增加,将帮助更多社区守护加州道路安全。这些拨款支持教育、加强执法以把受影响驾驶者带离道路,并扩大研究与法医检测,全方位提升全州交通安全。」
CHP Awards More Than $41 Million in Grants to Combat Impaired Driving Across California
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has announced more than $41 million in grant funding for 183 California law enforcement agencies, crime laboratories, local government agencies and nonprofit organizations to strengthen efforts to prevent and reduce impaired driving.
The funding comes through voter-approved Proposition 64, which directs the CHP to administer grants for impaired-driving education, prevention and enforcement programs, and also funds forensic toxicology testing at crime laboratories. Program revenue comes from taxes on cannabis and cannabis products sold in California. Grants to 160 law enforcement agencies will support enforcement operations, training of drug recognition evaluators, expanded ability to identify drug-impaired drivers, and public education campaigns through community events and presentations.
"The substantial increase in grant funding this year will help even more communities keep California's roadways safe," said CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee. "These grants support education, strengthen enforcement efforts to remove impaired drivers from our roads, and expand research and forensic testing to improve traffic safety across the state."
