Seattle police received the single largest local grant of $259K
With the rise in drug-related gun violence, the chief is looking forward to having a full staff to combat the issues
The money will go to more than 200 police agencies and will create or protect more than 866 law-enforcement positions
Since 1995, COPS has invested over $14 billion to advance community policing
The agency was among 73 nationwide that qualified for a share of $23 million in body camera purchase and training grants
The money will allow the police department to hire 15 officers to serve 15 schools and neighborhoods
Chief hopes the hires will push the department to become more "victim-centered"
