What Biden's anti-crime plan does. And what it could mean for the Twin Cities. | MinnPost

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : The president also announced that the Justice Department will support law enforcement in local communities, especially in preparation for an increase in violence that's typically seen during summer months.
53% : The Minneapolis mayor's office has so far budgeted nearly $12 million for violence prevention, including $1.7 million for public safety workforce training and $1 million for contracting with local law enforcement agencies for 2021 patrols.
50% : Throughout his anti-violence plan, Biden encourages communities to use funds from the American Rescue Plan to rehire police officers to "restore law enforcement and courts to their pre-pandemic levels."
47% : More than a year after the police killing of George Floyd sparked nationwide protests and a movement to reform and even reimagine policing in the U.S., a surge in homicides and violent crime has resulted instead in an expansion of law enforcement efforts: President Joe Biden announced a new anti-crime plan last week that includes using federal funding to support police officers and their ability to help suppress the recent surge in violent crime.
43% : The support will come in the form of FBI agents deployed to assist local law enforcement in targeting "dangerous criminal organizations," the ATF embedding with local homicide units and the U.S. Marshals Service conducting "fugitive sweeps" focused on people subject to state or local warrants for violent crimes.
