Assessments
evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
Total appropriations for the DOJ COPS program rose from $386 million in FY2021 to $683 million in FY2023 and $685 million in FY2024 - an increase of roughly $300 million per year enacted in appropriations laws Biden signed - while his budgets sought continued COPS increases (a $651 million total request for FY2024). The promised $300 million investment in the COPS program was therefore realized during his term. For transparency: the COPS Hiring Program component specifically ranged from about $157 million to $225 million per year, with the balance of the growth spread across other COPS grant lines and congressionally directed projects.
