BAY NEWS 9 - Florida will receive $135 million in Justice Assistance Grant money to hire and support law enforcement officers and for other crime-fighting programs.
In addition to hiring more police officers, the money will be used for drug and gang task forces, domestic violence programs, courts and jails.
"These funds are a vital component in our effort to not just revive our economy, but to build a new foundation for lasting prosperity and security," President Barack Obama said Friday. "By keeping police officers on the streets whose jobs were threatened by budget cuts and ensuring states and municipalities have the tools and equipment necessary to fight crime, this money will simultaneously help jump start the American economy and protect our citizens."
