NITA LOWEY FOR CONGRESS

Improved security procedures and technology at border-crossings, ports, and commercial airliners are better protecting our homeland and giving local emergency personnel the tools to prevent and react to terrorist attacks. 

Over $55 million in equipment and training for local law enforcement has been secured by Congresswoman Lowey from the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security to protect our communities and ensure the safety of first responders during emergencies.

Transportation security initiatives passed by the House of Representatives, would triple funding for transit security and help provide physical safety and peace of mind to the tens of millions of Americans who use mass transit every day.

The Chemical and Water Security Act, passed by the House of Representatives, would bolster the defense of vital national infrastructure such as our water distribution facilities and our chemical plants.
