A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE FOR CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, PERSONNEL COSTS, AND OPERATING EXPENSES FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA JUSTICE ACADEMY.
Whereas, the North Carolina General Assembly finds that all citizens must be able to enjoy the same level of quality in the enforcement of the State's criminal laws; and
Whereas, the quality of law enforcement must not be a function of the economic ability to pay on the part of any community, agency, or citizen; and
Whereas, the North Carolina Justice Academy, a division of the Department of Justice, provides important and critical basic and advanced law enforcement training to local and State agencies and officers; and
Whereas, the demands for the services of the North Carolina Justice Academy now critically exceed its capacity to meet those demands; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
