The NYPD will be getting a boost of federal funds to help combat terrorism, officials announced Wednesday.
The city will receive $180 million as part of a nationwide grant program from the Department of Homeland Security that aims to better prepare local and state governments and law enforcement agencies in the event of a terrorist attack.
The NYPD will be getting the lion’s share of the cash, which will go toward surveillance and terror fighting equipment like cameras, bomb sniffing dogs and communications infrastructure, according to DHS secretary Jeh Johnson.
Money will also be used to pay for things like overtime costs for police officers and anti-terror teams at airports, bus and train stations.
“Given how the terrorist threat to the world is evolving, how the potential terrorist threat to our nation is evolving, homeland security is becoming a matter of hometown security,” Johnson said.
“The Department of Homeland Security therefore must work with organizations like the New York City police department and other state and local law enforcement.”
In addition to the money allotted to the city, the rest of the state will divvy up almost $77 million.
The grants for the city and state are part of a $1.6 billion payout the DHS will make to cities and states around the country.
Earlier this year, Police Commissioner Bill Bratton lobbied lawmakers in Washington to continue funding the financially strapped DHS during a budget standoff in Congress back in February.
Bratton said at the time that the threat of a lone-wolf attack by terror groups like ISIS are at an all time high.
Three Brooklyn residents were arrested and charged with trying to aid and join ISIS back in February.
On Thursday, two more women from Queens were arrested after being accused of planning to construct bombs made of out propane gas tanks, authorities said.

This Federal money has me worried. I mean, how many South Americans could be flown to America and given free Obamacare and free food stamps and free housing with this 180 million? (can you sense my disgust?)
On a very, very serious note, how many AMERICAN Veterans and homeless AMERICANS could benefit from this money??
It must cost a lot of money for the FBI in New York City to create their “false flags of terrorism”. And with this kind of money, they must have “the mother of all false flags” in the works.
And still no sign of a real terrorist anywhere.
And of course, the NYPD brass knows this, so they’ll just pocket the cash, and tell you that you need to pay more taxes to fight terrorism.
“We need this money to finance the terrorists or we don’t have an excuse to exist. So there!”
But $180,000,000 dollars? It’s really just a drop in the bucket of wealth they’ve stole from us.
NYPD is terrorism!
WHAT TERRORISM???!!!! Name one, just ONE!
Unfrigginbelievable……
