New York will receive about 26 million dollars in Federal funds to offset law enforcement costs associated with protection of the President of Donald trump, his family and their residence in Manhattan.
About this Congresswoman Nita Lowey announced yesterday, September 6. As reported by NBC New York, this amount should cover the costs incurred by the city (particularly the police Department) for two and a half months between election day and inauguration day Donald trump.
So, the police Department of new York (NYPD) will get 18.9 million dollars, and the police Department of the County of Suffolk , about seven million dollars. It is known that in Congress with a request to consider the issue of compensation was addressed by the Commissioner of police James O’neill. In his letter it was about 35 millions of dollars, but then the original estimate was reduced to 26 million.
In this regard, the mayor of new York bill de Blasio said that now the taxpayers will get what they are owed.
We will remind, this summer the Secret service said that over the seven months spent annual budget for the protection of Donald trump and members of the presidential family.
