The Emergency Federal Law Enforcement Assistance (EFLEA) Program assists state and/or local government units in responding to extraordinary law enforcement emergencies by authorizing the U.S. Attorney General to grant funding to help alleviate the costs incurred by law enforcement agencies in responding to emergency law enforcement challenges. These EFLEA funds help cover extraordinary law enforcement expenses incurred by the Highland Park Police Department as a result of the mass shooting at Highland Park’s 2022 Independence Day parade.
