The L.A. County Sheriff's Department will hire 25 additional deputies thanks to an $8.5-million grant awarded this week by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The deputies will patrol unincorporated areas, targeting burglaries, assaults, graffiti, substance abuse and traffic, sheriff's officials said in a statement.
The city of Maywood was awarded $428,000 for a deputy over three years and Norwalk $811,000 for two deputies over three years.
The grants were from the department’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), which awarded more than $243 million to 238 law enforcement agencies nationwide.
