BROCKTON – Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz s office is sending $32,000 to eight community groups as part of a program that reinvests money seized from drug crimes.
Cruz s office annually gives some of the cash seized in drug raids and similar operations to groups typically focused on fighting drug abuse.
“Each year, our office awards numerous Community Reinvestment Program funds to youth organizations, school districts, neighborhood associations and (senior assistance) programs throughout Plymouth County, at no cost to taxpayers,” Cruz said in a statement.
“Fast forward to 2020 and COVID-19: Many of these groups and organizations struggled. They do such great work and people in the community rely on their help. I am proud that we can steer these funds to good use.
