聯邦撥款增加各地警力 聖路易地區獲1,100萬元

        白宮日前宣佈,聖路易地區各警察局將從聯邦刺激經費中獲取1,100多萬美元,用以僱傭或回聘警員。

        全國50個州有1,046個執法機構獲得了此項撥款,共耗資10億美元。伊利諾伊州共獲得2,500多萬元,以增雇106名警員,而密蘇里州獲得近2,000萬元用以增雇118名警員。

        密蘇里州獲得最多撥款的是聖路易市警察局,近870萬元。本州得到此項撥款的還有大學城、Berkeley、Bel-Ridge、Kinloch、Pagedale及Jennings等市。而在都會東區(Metro East),獲得撥款的有East St. Louis、Granite、Alton 和Alorton等市。

        此項經費夠發所雇警員三年的工資與福利,而獲得撥款的警察機構必須保留相應職位滿4年。

        “經濟復甦法案的很大一個任務就是要建設、鞏固社區,讓每個美國家庭過上更好的生活。”副總統Joe Biden說,“警察是維護社會治安的主力軍,不加強警力,就不可能實現壯大社區的目標。”

        總檢察長Eric Holder補充說:“刺激經費專款將通過有據可查的實實在在的項目為社區注入更多急需的資源。警力部署資金的大量需求表明我們的州、縣、市和部族正面臨著艱難困境,也表明警察執法機構保衛社區民眾的堅定決心和莊嚴承諾。”
