Law enforcement: state police; violent crime clearance grant program; establish. Creates new act.

SB 613 creates a grant program to help local law enforcement agencies improve their violent crime clearance rates. The bill provides funding for agencies to hire and train staff focused on violent crime investigations, upgrade forensic equipment, and enhance record systems. Agencies receiving grants must report annually on how funds were used, clearance rates by crime type, and staffing changes. The program is administered by the Michigan State Police, with a dedicated fund financed through state appropriations. This directly affects municipal police departments and county sheriff's offices across Michigan.
