President Biden is set to meet with a group of mayors and police chiefs at the White House this afternoon, where he’s expected to announce $10 billion from the American Rescue Plan has been committed to policing and public safety. A senior administration official told reporters Biden wants to call on communities to use these funds "now" because "we are approaching another summer and want to stress the priority of using these dollars for public safety and violence prevention." It comes as the president has been under pressure from Republicans and others to bring down violent crime across the country.
