Department has determined that your jurisdiction appears to have laws,
policies, or practices that violate" that section of law, Acting
Assistant Attorney General Alan Hanson wrote to Mayor's Office of

the law, the letter states. New York banked $4.3 million from the
program, the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant, in 2016.
