$640,000 is a reward for negligence actually, because they failed to catch true criminals in favor of friendship which boosted the Mckeesport crime rate ... crime rate was the highest.

For McKeesport, the $642,000 grant from the federal Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (or "COPS") will fund hiring three full-time police officers for three years. The city must commit to retaining the positions at its own expense for a fourth year.
Police Chief Joe Pero says the full-time hires will be chosen from the city's pool of part-time officers.
Expect more of the same, they were supposed to hire three new police to the force entirely, not a trick of using the money for anyone already hired, even part time. That was not the intended of the fund.

McKeesport pulled off a trick that neither New York City nor Pittsburgh could --- it scored a COPS grant from the federal stimulus package.

Not a trick at all, be negligent and have the highest crime rate: how sources indicated the funding was acquired.
WPXI News (Allegheny County) Pennsylvania
The government officials in charge of dispersing the federal Community Oriented Policing Services
(COPS) grants decided other local communities had higher crime rates and needed the economic stimulus more than the city.(OF PITTSBURGH).
The:(COPS) grants decided other local communities (had higher crime rates) and needed the economic stimulus more than the city.(OF PITTSBURGH).-is the most important fact of note.
They still have higher crime rates, even more than then. But now that Mckeesport knows its based that way, expect all to be for the worse. All needed to gain more funding will be to
neglect proper duties as has been protocol for Mckeesport in the past as evidenced.
Eleven local municipalities that received COPS grants:
McKEESPORT --$641,763, 3 officers supported.
McKEES ROCKS --$223,083, 1 officer.
WILKINSBURG --$210,795, 1 officer.
SHARON --$194,901, 1 officer
COATESVILLE --$192,716, 1 officer
ROCHESTER --$181,125, 1 officer
BEAVER FALLS --$167,625, 1 officer
SOUTHWEST MERCER COUNTY --$165,158, 1 officer
KNOX --$160,172, 1 officer
HOMESTEAD --$142,493, 1 officer
ALIQUIPPA --$133,008, 1 officer

Mckeesport, 3 officers, the ten remaining only one each. If the three part time officers had no effect, why make them full time? Should be three absolutely new officers hired, not more of the un-effective officers from the part time pool.
The crime rate in Mckeesport is expected to rise, and the money in large part a waste of funding by stammering results shortly to follow.
The educational statistics need to be combined as leading to the negative results of Mckeesport as well. The school board to blame for not following through with duties, several connected to the police department. School board must be a cushion job in Mckeesport as a result for such police connections to exist by majority in McKeesport. Donato must have been on to something legitimate to have a case against the city on matters.
