Evidence

"PROVIDE $30 MILLION DOLLARS TO LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT: Schumer's plan would create new Crystal Meth Police Grants under the COPS Program which would provide 3 year grants to state and local law enforcement agencies with significant crystal meth problems from the Department of Justice to hire police officers who would form Crystal Meth Units and concentrate on eradicating meth abuse in their communities."

Schumer publicly proposed $30 million in COPS-based grants for state and local law enforcement to fight crystal meth, but this is a campaign proposal rather than proof the money was actually delivered.

"Through the COPS Anti-Methamphetamine Program (CAMP), the COPS Office is also awarding $12 million to 12 state law enforcement agencies... State agencies are being awarded three years of funding through CAMP to support the location or investigation of illicit activities related to the manufacture and distribution of methamphetamine."

Federal anti-meth law-enforcement grants were later awarded under DOJ COPS, but this does not show Schumer fulfilled the specific promised $30 million campaign pledge.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Schumer’s 2004 campaign pledge was to provide $30 million through new COPS-based Crystal Meth Police Grants for local law enforcement. The evidence shows he publicly advanced that proposal during the federal Senate campaign, but it does not show that Congress enacted or DOJ delivered the promised $30 million program during the relevant term. A later 2020 DOJ COPS anti-meth grant announcement provided $12 million to state agencies as part of a broader $42 million package, not the specific $30 million local law-enforcement commitment, and the evidence does not connect that outcome materially to Schumer’s pledge. This supports credit for effort, but not fulfillment.

never unknown A for effort

Schumer publicly proposed creating $30 million in COPS-based Crystal Meth Police Grants for state and local law enforcement during the 2004 federal Senate campaign context, but the supplied record does not show that this specific $30 million program was enacted or funded. The later DOJ COPS anti-meth awards in 2020 were smaller/different in structure and do not establish Schumer-specific delivery of the promised outcome. This supports credit for effort, but not fulfillment.
