There are no federally mandated training minimums for police officers

And so, I mean, there are 18,000 police departments and law

enforcement agencies in the United States.

They are all doing drastically different things.

Training requirements for police vary state by state, sometimes even

region to region, municipality to municipality.

But overwhelmingly, officers are being trained locally.

And oftentimes, even though there might be some best standards or

One study showed that out of 80 countries, the United States has the

Afghanistan. After protesters around the country called for justice

following the killing of George Floyd in Minnesota.

President Trump signed an executive order encouraging police

Under the executive order I'm signing today, we will prioritize

federal grants from the Department of Justice to police departments

that seek independent credentialing, certifying that they meet high

standards and in fact, in certain cases, the highest standard.

But critics have said Trump's executive order doesn't do enough to fix

It's almost like trying to find a solution how to deal with Covid-19

Just a few of the issues social scientists point to is how few hours

There's also the controversy over training for a so-called warrior

So then, what exactly is police training made up of?

And, where does the money come from to support these trainings?

Here's how police training is funded across the country.

State and local governments spent $115 billion dollars on police in

2017, which is the latest year with comprehensive data available.

Most of police training occurs in state academies run by the state for

State Academy receives funding from the state but it also receives

funding from the municipality who's sending people to be trained.

It's a financial burden to the state to expand this training because

they themselves are in the business of training.

Though a majority of the funding for police training starts locally,

there's still millions of dollars coming from the federal government.

There's a chunk of federal funds made up of grants.

Those grants funnel money to state and local police organizations.

Here are four of the big ones: COPS, community oriented policing

services, Byrne JAG, the Byrne Justice Assistance Grants, Urban

Security Initiative and the state Homeland Security Program.

Through these programs, at least $54.2 million dollars gets spent on

police training alone, and the rest, which is in the billions, is

used for equipment and salaries and cars.

You get the idea. For example, out of the $590 million dollars

allocated for the Urban Area Security Initiative, funding for the

fiscal year 2019, $30.7 million dollars went to 64 law enforcement

organizations to support training activities for three years.

That $31 million dollars in funding is up from 2016 when UASI

allocated $18.4 dollars million for police training through its grant

program. And the state homeland security program spent approximately

11 million dollars on law enforcement training activities for state,

local and territorial governments through 2019.

Then, there's the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant

program, which provides states, tribes and local governments with

funding to support a range of programs like public defenders, as well

as policing. About 252 million of JAG funding was awarded for fiscal

Those grantees have thus far allocated over 16.5 dollars million of

the 252 million available by February 2020.

And of that 16.5 million, just over 286,000 went towards training.

And through COPS, run out of the Department of Justice, in fiscal

year 2019, at least 9.7 dollars million in grants were awarded for

the development and delivery of training for law enforcement

officers, and over 8.6 million of that went to preparing for active

And another 2.6 million dollars in grant reimbursements were filed

under the COPS travel training and conferences category.

Many of those grants awarded were meant to last years, so not all the

training is delivered in the year funding is awarded.

Besides government funding and taxpayer money, there's also private

donors putting dollars behind training programs, and private

companies providing their own kind of training.

And at times you can even have private donors or corporations come in

and say, we're just going to pay for this.

There's no real way of knowing how much money private companies put

better training. But part of that problem means more money needs to

be spent on building that educational infrastructure.

gotten over the last 20 years, most of that money isn't going toward

Part of the problem is, is that while we absolutely support reduction

of police budgeting, the unfortunate side effect very often or maybe

unintended side effect to that is, is that the training divisions
