Fallin voted against funding for Community Oriented Policing Services

Mary’s political moves once again fail to keep people safe. 

Fallin voted against a bill that authorized $18.4 billion over six years for the Justice Department‟s Community Oriented Policing Services program and expanded types of activities eligible for program grants.

The bill eliminated the requirement that half of program funding go to grants in areas with populations of more than 150,000 people, increased from 3 percent to 5 percent the amount of funding used to provide technical assistance to states and localities, and required individuals recruited through the Troops to Cops program be honorably discharged members of the military.
