On January 15, President Clinton announced that the Justice Department
would be giving $120 million to the city of New York to pay for the 1,600
additional cops that Mayor Giuliani promised in his inaugural address.
The money represents more than the total of $118 million in Justice department
money which will be divided up among 620 other law enforcement agencies
around the country.
Giuliani said the money, and the additional police, would be used to
target illegal drug use and sales. New York City's crime rate has dropped
precipitously in recent years, but, according to the mayor, the drug trade
"is probably the thing that's holding us back the most right now."
