Washington State Awards First Police Hiring Grants: Kent and Black Diamond Police Departments Receive Funding for New Officers
Washington state has awarded its first two grants from a $100 million program aimed at hiring more police officers. The Kent Police Department received $1.9 million to bring on 20 new entry-level officers, while Black Diamond Police got $375,000 for one new officer. The grants come after months of delays and require departments to adopt a new sales tax or meet training and policy standards. More grants are on the way, with nine departments applied and decisions coming soon.
