A federal grant of just over $1 million will help the city of Mansfield hire 4 new Police officers.
Mansfield City Council President Cliff Mears said "The COPS Hiring Program grant is a 3 year grant and normally has a local match of 25%, but there has been a waiver, so the city only has to pay training and other smaller expenses.
Currently, the Mansfield PD has 80 officers on staff and will have 84, when they make the new hires.
