Ron DeSantis(@GovRonDeSantis):Since 2022, when I signed first-of-its-kind legislation to increase law enforcement recruitment and retention, thousands of officers from all over the country have answered the call to serve in law enforcement agencies throughout Florida. We are grateful for their service, and we show our appreciation with bonuses, improved pay and benefits, and protections for the men and women who keep our communities safe. Today, we awarded more than $10 million in recruitment bonuses to 1,500 new officers across our state. We’re proud that Florida is the most law enforcement-friendly state in the nation, and we are committed to doing everything we can to keep it that way.
