Senator Bob Casey was in York calling on the federal government to put their money where their mouth is.
Casey is fighting for more funding for local law enforcement after hundreds of millions of dollars have been slashed from federal grants over the past few years.
These grants help pay extra officers and help purchase necessary equipment for local law enforcement.
“It's about time that those that preach about law enforcement, federal legislators I'm talking about, those who talk about how tough on crime they are and then vote for massive funding of programs to explain why they're doing that,” Casey stated.
Senator Casey wrote a letter to the Office of Management Budget in Washington D.C. requesting they increase funding.
