In a crowded auditorium in Indianapolis, Indiana, late on Aug. 17, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced he would be asking the state legislature for $5 million to aid law enforcement agencies with recruiting efforts.

DeSantis announced three proposals that he said he would present to the next session of the Florida Legislature to help the law enforcement community attract qualified candidates and help recruit new talent.
