President Biden on Friday called on mayors and local leaders to use funds from the American Rescue Plan to bulk up police forces and safety programs ahead of the summer months.
“It’s up to the cities, the towns, and the counties to spend the money and spend it now,” Biden said at an event with police chiefs and mayors at the White House.
The article goes on to state the following:
The White House announced Friday that it was committing $10 billion in funding from the coronavirus relief bill signed into law by Biden early last year to public safety and violence prevention.
“It’s there, it’s been appropriated. We know the challenges we’re facing as we head into this summer. We need to meet those challenges with a sense of urgency, which this group is doing,” Biden said.
“Use these funds we made available to you to prioritize public safety. Do it quickly before this summer when crime rates typically surge. Taking action today is going to save lives tomorrow. So use the money, hire the police officers, build up your emergency response systems, invest in proven solutions,” Biden said.
We need to fund the police with the resources and training they need to protect our communities.
That’s why we designed the American Rescue Plan not only to beat the pandemic and rebuild our economy — but to restore public safety.

Because of the American Rescue Plan funding, states and cities added back 460,000 jobs — including police officers, firefighters, educators, and other important roles.
Not a single Republican member of Congress voted for the funding for law enforcement and public safety.

Democrats defunded the police and pushed for releasenof criminals and non prosecution. Elections are coming up and now they are pretending to be supporting cops. This is a charade to fool the massive populations of idiots that now occupy the USA.
