Reports on Thursday said the money will be distributed to 182 different agencies and hopes to add more than 1,000 officers with the additional resources provided.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney General Merrick Garland said the department is committed to providing officers \u201cwith the resources needed to help ensure community safety and build community trust.\u201d Meanwhile, Biden announced he signed the three bipartisan bills on Thursday in what seemed to be a swipe at progressives in his own party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I want to thank everyone who worked together to pass each of these bipartisan bills, emphasize bipartisan bills. Before I turn to the specifics of the bills, I want to say that when you look at what our communities need, what our law enforcement is being asked to do, it\u2019s going to require more resources, not fewer resources,\u201d said Biden.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The COPS Counseling Act, signed by Pres.
