Understanding the Homeland Security Grant Program

In today's world, where new dangers constantly emerge, it's crucial that our communities are prepared to keep citizens safe from threats and harm. The Homeland Security Grant Program plays a big role in this mission, offering various grants that are designed to help states, local communities, tribes, and territories in all aspects of being prepared, from preventing incidents to recovering from them.
Grants from the State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) provide money to support each state's unique Homeland Security Strategy, which subsequently allows our communities to work on improving specific areas of readiness and response, making them better prepared for emergencies.

Operation Stonegarden (OPSG)
Operating at the intersection of federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies, OPSG fosters synergy and coordination to fortify security along the nation's borders. By facilitating joint efforts and resource sharing, it reinforces border integrity and mitigates risks posed by illicit activities.
