After 10 years, 118,000 new police officers on the streets, and millions of additional criminal arrests, COPS is coming to an end. COPS (Community Oriented Policing Services) was a program that spent federal dollars to help local police departments add cops to do police work instead of paperwork. It was a pet project of President Clinton, but the Bush administration has made steep cutbacks in the program. It just handed out its last series of grants. (WashPost)
