The executive director of the Office of Management and Budget (OGP) of Puerto Rico, José I. Marrero, today announced the allocation of an additional $ 5.7 million to the Puerto Rico Police.
According to Marrero explained in a press release, the amount mentioned “will be reprogrammed for expenses and operation of the security agency.”
He explained that the fiscal impact of this transaction is “zero” for purposes of the budget approved by the Fiscal Oversight Board for 2019.
