All three levels of government — federal, state and local — contribute to the cost of police purchases

and training. But their contributions are far from equal. In 2015, local governments paid for more than
two-thirds of police spending. The federal government came second at 20.4%, followed by state
governments at 11%

The answer is yes. If the police officers give validation and justification for the use of equipment, then he
must seek advice from federal or state agencies.

The police department should be supported in one way or the other, directly or indirectly. Because
police are responsible for curbing any anti-social activities. If we wish to live in a country free from
terrorism and crimes, we must be supportive.
