Shaheen touts federal relief funds for COVID vaccine, arts, hungry

EXETER Sen. Jeanne Shaheen toured the New Hampshire National Guard’s COVID-19 vaccination site at Exeter High School Friday to thank them for their hard work, and to let them know more federal resources are on the way. Shaheen, D-NH, said this week’s approval of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan relief package will help the state further ramp up its vaccine distribution efforts. She said the new legislation doubles the amount of grant monies New Hampshire receives to administer the vaccine. “One of the challenges that New Hampshire and 11 or 10 other small states had, is that when the funding went out in early January, from the December package, the Centers for Disease Control decided to use a per capita formula, as opposed to what had been used in the past under the public health emergency preparedness grant program,” Shaheen said. “So, New Hampshire, Maine was only going to get about half of what we thought we needed.

Data Show N H Police Disproportionately Arrest People Of Color

Geoff Forester / Concord Monitor A state commission on police reform last year unveiled widespread inconsistency in what data New Hampshire police collect, on whom and in what circumstances. Members of the Commission on Law Enforcement Accountability, Community and Transparency emphasized the need for more standardized, transparent record keeping of police interactions at all levels including race and gender data for arrests, stops and citations. But a little-known site maintained by the New Hampshire Department of Safety already makes demographic data for arrests and other crime statistics available to the public. The state Department of Safety collects and publishes information from law enforcement agencies each year as part of a national crime data reporting program run by FBI. The site, maintained by the Justice Information Bureau’s Uniform Crime Reporting unit, allows users to sort through the data, perform basic number-crunching and analysis, and create tables and cha

Part 2: Push back against new arrest data collection

Email address: Story Produced by Concord Monitor, a Member of Part 2 of a three-part series on NH crime data. New Hampshire may soon join the growing number of states that keep a comprehensive record of how police interact with their communities, but leaders of the state’s law enforcement community have cited several obstacles to collecting and reporting better data. State arrest data and incarceration rates already show Black and Hispanic people face disparity from the criminal justice system. On average, each group is arrested and incarcerated at higher rates than their relative populations. Senate Bill 96, an omnibus bill, would implement a number of policy recommendations made by the state Commission on Law Enforcement Accountability, Community and Transparency last August. Portions of the bill would require law enforcement agencies to collect, analyze and publish race, ethnicity and gender data for all police stops, citations and arrests.
