U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer lauded an announcement by Vice President Joe Biden and Attorney General Eric Holder that cities, agencies and tribes across California will receive more than $211 million to hire police officers.
Lake County agencies will receive a total of approximately $652,382. They include the Clearlake Police Department, $186,688; city of Lakeport, $241,237; and Robinson Rancheria of Pomo Indians: $224,457.
In neighboring Mendocino County, funding will go to the Hopland Band of Pomo Indians, $191,549; Cahto Tribe of Laytonville Rancheria, $165,798; Round Valley Indian Tribes, $150,600; and city of Ukiah, $251,081.
The funding is part of a $1 billion commitment included in the economic recovery package that will support nearly 5,000 police officers across the nation.
Sen. Boxer called Vice President Biden and National Economic Council Director Larry Summers to express her strong support for the inclusion of police officer hiring grants as part of the recovery package.
“These grants could not be more timely as cities across California continue to face difficult budget cuts,” said Boxer. “I am so pleased that this funding will put more police officers on the streets to protect our families.”
The Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program gives hiring grants to help bolster police forces.
The grants provide all of the approved salary and benefits for entry-level officer positions for three years and require police departments to retain the grant funded positions for a fourth year.
The grants will support 649 police officers across California – 41 in Oakland, 50 each in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and 50 in the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
