Delegation Secured Funding to Defray Manpower Costs Incurred Protecting President, President-Elect, First Family
As President Returns to NYC for First Time Since Taking Office
New York Spends More Than $127,000 Per Day to Protect First Family when President Trump Is Not In Town, $308,000 When President Is In NYC
New York, NY – Congresswoman Nita M. Lowey, Ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee; New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio; Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney; Congresswoman Grace Meng, and other members of the New York City Congressional Delegation hosted a press conference in the Blue Room of New York City Hall to announce $68 million in federal funds to reimburse local law enforcement agencies and New York taxpayers for costs incurred protecting the President, then-President-Elect Trump, and the First Family.
The city spent $24 million protecting Trump Tower and the First Family from Election Day through Inauguration Day. It is estimated that the city spends, on average, $127,000 to $146,000 a day for the NYPD to protect the First Family when President Trump is not in town. It is anticipated those costs will be $308,000 per day when the President is in New York City, as he was yesterday for the first time since Inauguration.
Of the $68 million, $20 million is dedicated to reimbursing local law enforcement agencies for costs incurred protecting the President-elect from the time of the 2016 election through Inauguration Day. This funding will be awarded through the Byrne-JAG program at the U.S. Department of Justice. The remainder - $41 million - will be provided through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Local law enforcement agencies that incurred such costs after President Trump’s inauguration may submit claims for reimbursement of manpower costs.
When added to $7 million secured in the FY2017 Continuing Resolution enacted in December, this brings total funding to $68 million to help defray manpower costs expended helping the U.S. Secret Service in fulfillment of the federal responsibility of protecting the President-elect, and after inauguration, the President.
