Justice Court Chooses Revenue Sharing for Computer System
Clark County justice court shifts from LEAA funds to revenue sharing to buy a computerized information system. The $60,000 allocation replaces $49,500 in LEAA money, with officials citing quicker funding and simpler approval under revenue sharing. The grant was approved six months ago, and LEAA approvals would require multiple crime prevention bodies. The county has used over $12 million in federal revenue sharing since 1972 for 104 projects. Juanita Blankenship notes SEAA funds stay local, while Las Vegas police seek unallocated money for a crime reduction team.
