No, but they can give block grants to the states to pay for more LEOs and prisons and prison guards, etc which is what Clinton did IIRC.

A block grant is like giving a transfusion in the right arm using blood taken from the left arm and spilling a lot of it in the process. A net loss.

Federal overhead for managing the money taken from the states to be given to the states wastes quite a bit of the money being transferred. And there’s also the money that must be spent to monitor (aka control) the recipients’ use of the money.
