The Obama administration has announced the distribution of $1 billion in grants to hire 5,000 “local” police nation-wide.

That figure represents merely a downpayment on the Obama regime’s program to help “stimulate” the economy by hiring more tax-fed state enforcement agents. Police agencies across the country have asked for a total of $8.3 billion in “stimulus” funds, and Obama has promised to seek funding for at least $50,000 new police officers.
Created by the 1994 Omnibus Crime Bill, the COPS program has played a major role in federalizing law enforcement. As our country careens into a depression, the COPS program is providing funds to hire new police and to keep police on the payroll in states and municipalities facing severe budget cuts.
In a recent “Justice” Department podcast, Andy Dorr, Assistant Director of the Grants Administration Division for COPS, pointed out that the agency’s Hiring and Recovery Program provides funding to rehire officers who have been laid off, or who are scheduled for lay-offs, as a result of budget cuts.
Texas civil libertarian Scott Henson points out in his “Grits for Breakfast” blog that the COPS subsidies are fiscally problematic for cash-strapped state and local governments.
