“The city has spent all but $2.7 million of the $50 million federal grant it received for Republican National Convention security. Grant money for the Aug. 27-30 convention is paying for extra police, technology, vehicles, uniforms and gear. Personnel costs alone are more than $26.1 million, according to the city. That money will help pay for about 3,500 law enforcement officers brought in from across the state to police the city during the convention.”
