[WASHINGTON, DC] – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09) today announced a new $3,707,596 federal grant for the Memphis Health Center, which provides high-quality, affordable health care services to Shelby County citizens. This grant funding comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Resources and Services Administration.
Cases involving police use of deadly force should be investigated by an independent prosecutor instead of local prosecuting attorneys who often work closely with law-enforcement officers and thus have a conflict of interest, U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen said Wednesday.
Cohen, a Memphis Democrat, and U.S. Rep. Lacy Clay, D-Mo., filed legislation that seeks to push state and local governments to require independent investigations and prosecutions into allegations of deadly police force. The lawmakers say the legislation would provide justice to victims of police violence.
The Memphis Health Center has received a federal grant worth more than $3.7 million from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Resources and Services Administration.
The funding will be used to help fund the Memphis Health Center, which provides affordable health care services to Shelby County residents.
