Sacramento proposes city's highest-ever police budget, bucks 'defund' trend
Fox News
At least 24 major cities are looking to increase their police budgets this year, including Atlanta, Omaha and Phoenix.
Sacramento City Manager Howard Chan presented the new annual budget, which is set to start with the next fiscal year July 1. One notable item was the police budget, which has continued to grow year over year -- barring a small amendment last year to remove $1 million. Sacramento had voted in October 2020 to push for "new approaches" to public safety, but the new budget covers a number of changes that would be necessary for general police reforms.More Related News
