Assessments
Official congressional records identify multiple Northwest Indiana law-enforcement public-safety projects requested by Rep. Frank J. Mrvan under DOJ COPS Tech, including projects for Crown Point, East Chicago, Griffith, Dyer, La Porte, Lowell, Schererville, and Valparaiso. H.R. 6938, the FY2026 appropriations measure incorporating the explanatory statement with those projects, became Public Law 119-74 on January 23, 2026. Because this returned federal taxpayer dollars to Northwest Indiana law-enforcement agencies through the House appropriations process while Mrvan was serving in the same House term, the promise is fulfilled.
