Ron DeSantis (R) put forward new incentives to recruit more police officers in the state. In a news conference on Tuesday, DeSantis said three separate programs would be introduced to ensure law enforcement had ample resources.<\/p>\n<p>The push to attract more officers was outlined to include a new program to cover the cost of applications, a new law enforcement academy program and a signing bonus for any brand new officers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first thing that we\u2019re going to do is we\u2019re going to offer a $5,000 signing bonus for anybody who is new to law enforcement in the state of Florida,\u201d DeSantis announced. \u201cNow that may mean somebody who\u2019s younger, who decides to go into law enforcement who is already a Florida resident, but it would also apply to someone moving from another state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis went on to say the Sunshine State supported law enforcement, along with all other first responders. He went on to assert funding for law enforcement would increase within the state of Florida, unlike many other states moving to reduce funding.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Watch Live: Governor DeSantis visits Lakeland to announce his commitment to recruit and reward brave, high quality law enforcement officers in Florida.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mW0z6xcYPB\">https:\/\/t.co\/mW0z6xcYPB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovRonDeSantis\/status\/1435247578065555457?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 7, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis added the new incentives would hopefully boost confidence as morale has been notably low due to anti-police sentiment.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/blinken-austin-vow-help-to-evacuated-afghans-in-qatar\/\">Blinken, Austin Vow Help To Evacuated Afghans In Qatar<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida Gov.
