"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.

Through the American Rescue Plan, we provided $350 billion directly to cities, counties, and states. Money they could use to hire back police officers and to invest in proven strategies like community violence interruption and prevention programs.

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."

@POTUS
