This legislation, the Violent Incident Clearance and Technological Investigative Methods (VICTIM) Act, is necessary. A core goal of our criminal justice system is to solve crimes and provide closure and justice for victims, but law enforcement too often lacks the resources to achieve this goal. In Pennsylvania, more than a quarter of all homicides go unsolved. And barely more than one-third of other major crimes, including robbery and burglary, are solved.

We will soon be introducing legislation designed to increase the clearance rates for homicides and other violent crimes by providing our law enforcement with additional and necessary tools to help solve these serious crimes.

House Co-Sponsorship Memo 46332 Information; 2025-2026 Regular Session - PA House of Representatives

This legislation will establish a grant program that Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) would administer. The program will allow local law enforcement agencies to apply to PCCD for grants to help them solve homicides and other violent crimes. Grants could be used to hire and retain detectives and investigators; upgrade technology used to analyze evidence; and ensure compliance with the grant’s reporting requirements.

Significantly, the legislation will also require that this program be evaluated to determine what’s working, what isn’t, and to identify any areas of needed improvement.
