| (Columbia-AP) -- State Law Enforcement
Division Chief Robert Stewart says South Carolina has received about
$43 million in federal money for state homeland security
efforts. Stewart says nearly $30 million will go for equipment and training for emergency workers. The Port of Charleston will receive $5 million for security and an additional $5 million for equipment that can detect radiation. Each of the state's 46 counties will receive a share of $5 million for local efforts. Each county gets $50,000, plus additional money based on population. Newberry County Sheriff Lee Foster says his county will spend its $75,000 share on gas masks and protective suits for emergency workers. |
