HARRISBURG, Dec. 17 – State Rep. Patty Kim, D-Dauphin, today applauded the awarding of over $2.4 million in Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency grants to Dauphin County organizations and agencies. The funds, approved by the PCCD, support a variety of programs and services, including: adult probation services, body-worn camera initiatives and domestic abuse programs. “Funding like this is about supporting victims of abuse and giving them all of the tools they need to get their lives back on track,” Kim said. “I am also happy to see the investment in police body cameras for Derry Township officers, as studies show that not only does this provide accountability for police and putting regular citizens at ease, it also provides another surveillance tool for police that often helps deescalate situations when criminals also know they are being recorded. It’s really a win-win situation for all involved.” The grants awarded in Dauphin County are as follows: Improvement of Adult Probation Services Funds Dauphin County - Improvement of Adult Probation Services - $641,952. Federal Body-Worn Camera Policy and Implementation Program Funds Derry Township – Law Enforcement Body-Worn Camera Acquisition - $41,048.

HARRISBURG, July 31 – State Rep. Patty Kim, D-Dauphin, is inviting all to attend a news conference Monday where she plans to formally announce her County Jail Oversight Board Reform in Second- and Third-Class Counties legislation. “County jail oversight boards are an important part of ensuring that our prison population is taken care of and moving towards rehabilitation and away from unnecessary punishment,” Kim said. “Our current laws lack the transparency and accountability needed to have a truly successful oversight board. We need more civil servant driven, citizen board members to be given a chance rather than county officials, or individuals that hold public office. Let’s put the community back in the hands of the people who live there.” The news conference takes place at 2:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 3 in front of Kim’s district office located at 46 Kline Village, 25th and Market St., Harrisburg. Speakers include: Brandon Flood, president of Bro2Go, Inc. John Hargreaves, volunteer director of PA Prison Society. ACLU representative. Kim continued, “the objective here is simple, transparent and independent oversight of our county jails in both second- and third-class counties.” More information is available by contacting Kim’s district office at 717-772-3570. ### Read more

Patty Kim, D-Dauphin, today said she is joining with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission to push back on hate crimes and advocate for tolerance during the coronavirus, COVID-19 global pandemic. “I want to thank the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission and its executive director, Chad Lassiter, for standing behind our Asian-American community," Kim said.
