Four cities in Indiana are getting money from the federal government to hire more police officers. The U.S. Dept. of Justice announced grant money totaling $139 million across the country, to hire more than 1,000 more officers. Indiana cities will get $746,000 of that. The four Indiana cities to get that money are Muncie, with $375,000; La Paz, with $120,639; and Crown Point and Cedar Lake, each getting $125,000. It was unclear from the DOJ list how many officers each city expects to be able to hire with the money.
