An Inspector General found FEMA reimbursed over $19 million to local law enforcement agencies with the vast majority of those funds going to NYPD.
A Federal Emergency Management Agency watchdog said FEMA continued to improperly reimburse local law enforcement agencies for guarding presidential residences.
During the Trump administration, FEMA reimbursed local law enforcement agencies for protecting his residences in New York City; Bedminster, New Jersey; and Mar-a-Lago, Florida. In fiscal year 2019, $31.9 million was distributed to local agencies, and $35.8 million was awarded in 2020. The New York Police Department, which helped protect Trump Tower, was given the majority of these funds, raking in a combined $57 million over two years.
The report notes that even though the Secret Service requested local law enforcement assistance, agencies are unable to seek reimbursement through Presidential Residence Protection Assistance grants.
