I will support legislation to establish a DOJ grant program that helps state, local, and tribal law enforcement solve more homicides and firearm-related violent crimes.

Evans’ bill, the Violent Incident Clearance and Technological Investigative Methods (VICTIM) Act, would establish a grant program at the Department of Justice (DOJ) to help state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies to solve more crimes and improve clearance rates for homicides and firearm-related violent crimes.

Evans reintroduced the VICTIM Act, which would create DOJ grants for law enforcement to improve clearance rates for homicides and firearm-related violent crimes.

Congress.gov identifies H.R.5768 as the 'Violent Incident Clearance and Technological Investigative Methods Act of 2022 or VICTIM Act of 2022' and summarizes that it 'directs the Department of Justice to establish a grant program for state, tribal, or local law enforcement agencies or prosecuting offices' to administer violent incident clearance and technological investigative methods. The page lists the sponsor as Rep. Val Demings and the latest action as 'Senate - 09/27/2022 Received in the Senate.'

This is the federal legislation matching the promise. It was a 117th Congress bill, before Gabe Evans entered Congress, and Congress.gov shows it passed the House but was only received in the Senate, not enacted.

The related-bills page lists S.4402, 'VICTIM Act of 2022,' with latest action '06/14/2022 Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.' It also lists H.Res.1377 as a rule providing for consideration of H.R.5768, with final House action on 09/22/2022.

The Senate companion also did not advance beyond referral in the 117th Congress. These actions predate Evans' House term and do not show fulfillment by Evans.

The official House website states: 'Representative Gabe Evans is currently serving his first term in Congress as the Representative of the 8th District of Colorado.'

Evans' relevant federal service began in the 119th Congress, after the 2022 VICTIM Act activity. The official page establishes the relevant term for judging whether he later supported comparable legislation.

Evans' public-safety issue page says, 'We must empower local law enforcement with the tools they need to keep our communities safe.' The page lists public-safety releases including immigration, sanctuary policy, parole, and transnational repression items, but no VICTIM Act or DOJ homicide-clearance grant legislation in the visible official public-safety record reviewed.

Evans has a general official position favoring law-enforcement tools, but this source does not show that he sponsored, cosponsored, voted for, or otherwise advanced the specific DOJ grant-program legislation promised.
