Military veterans to get priority for police jobs under COPS grants Federal grant program to put more cops on the street emphasizes jobs for military veterans who served after 9/11. Unemployment among recent veterans stood at 12.7 percent in May. By Kevin Loria, Contributor June 25, 2012
Recent military veterans will have top priority for jobs under a federal program to put more police officers on patrol on America's streets.Under the Justice Department's COPS (Community Oriented Policing Services) program, 629 of the 800 police jobs funded for the next three years –all the newly hired officers – must go to veterans who served at least 180 days' active duty since 9/11. This is the first time the 18-year-old COPS program has required cities and counties seeking grants to hire veterans exclusively.

President Bill Clinton signed off on the program as part of a package of anticrime legislation in 1994. It did not get as much funding under President George W. Bush, but the current vice president doesn’t see it going away anytime soon.
“It’s popular with the public, needed by veterans, and will benefit the community all around,” said Biden..You can't demilitarize if you're hiring mostly people straight out of the military.
