Maryland Receives More than $2.4 Million through Federal Violence Against Women Act

ANNAPOLIS, MD (March 15, 2010) –Governor Martin O’Malley announced today that Maryland will receive $2,474,638 under the federal STOP Violence Against Women Formula Grant Program. The program provides funds for Services, Training, Officers and Prosecutors (STOP) in implementing the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). 

“One of our most solemn obligations as public servants is the safety of the citizens we serve,” said Governor O’Malley.  “Last year, 53 individuals died as a result of domestic violence in Maryland and, of those, 27 were killed with a firearm. Programs funded through the STOP program help us ensure that women throughout Maryland feel safe and secure.  I want to thank Senator Barbara Mikulski and the leaders of our federal delegation for their work in securing these funds.”
