The Spring Valley Police Department regularly puts out anti-crime initiatives in an effort to reduce violent crime and gun related violence in the Village through New York State and Federal grant funding sources. The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) and the New York State Gun Involved Violence Elimination Initiative (GIVE) allows the Village to deploy more officers to high crime areas of Spring Valley.

Editor’s note – marihuana with an “h” is the correct legal spelling within the NY justice system
