SAN ANTONIO — The United States Department of Justice, along with the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services has awarded thea $6.25 million grant that will allow the city to hire 50 new police officers over the next three years.
“Public safety is a priority of the community and City Council; we have a goal of adding 360 police officers over the next three to five years and this grant award will help us achieve that goal,” said City Manager Erik Walsh. “I want to thank our Federal Legislative Delegation for their efforts to advocate for our community’s needs. We are looking forward to welcoming these new officers to the San Antonio Police Department.
“This grant will pay for half of the 100 new officer positions that City Council approved in the Fiscal Year 2024 budget, allowing our officers more time to do proactive policing and build relationships and trust with the community we serve,” said San Antonio Police Chief William McManus.
