U.S. to Provide $1 Billion to Hire Law Enforcement

We’ve got a good one today. The federal government, courtesy of Vice President Biden, just dropped $1 billion on hiring new Law Enforcement officers in state, local and tribal governments. CNN actually has a full article on this right here. This is great news for anybody who’s been thinking of a career in Law Enforcement because this money is earmarked for new employees.
A billion dollars is a lot of money and, according to CNN, it would entirely pay for 4,699 new positions.

The money is designed to be part of revitalizing the economy and part of bringing new faces into a Criminal Justice system that is ripe and ready for expansion. All indications are that there will be more, similar grants to come.

Law Enforcement is one of the most admirable career paths in the nation and if you’re ready to step on to the path of a police officer, detective, sheriff, crime scene investigator or any one of a dozen other career choices, then this new grant is your chance.

Good luck out there.
