The Town of Bladensburg was awarded a $625,000 Project Grant under the U.S. Department of Justice's Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710). The grant, awarded on October 1, 2024, aims to help the town increase its community policing capacity and crime prevention efforts. Key anticipated outcomes include engagement in planned community partnerships, implementation of projects to analyze and assess problems, changes to personnel and agency management in support of community policing, and increased capacity for the town to engage in community policing activities. The grant will support the town's efforts to hire and/or rehire additional career law enforcement officers over the five-year performance period, which runs through September 30, 2029. Additionally, the town's parent organization, the Bladensburg Volunteer Fire Department & Rescue Squad, has received multiple federal grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to enhance its firefighting and emergency response capabilities, further strengthening the public safety resources available to the Bladensburg community.
