“This funding is critical to continue operational and technological readiness of our border security apparatus,” said Congressman Gonzalez. “Our border communities remain among the safest in the state of Texas and the nation because of the resources we provide to our law enforcement personnel. These funds will help increase our capabilities to prevent and protect against any border security threat we may face.”
The FY 2019 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is composed of three related grant programs: State Homeland Security Program (SHSP), Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI), and Operation Stonegarden.
