In the wake of the horrific school shooting in Newtown, Conn., Sen. Bob Casey called this morning for full federal funding of three existing programs to strengthen local law-enforcement agencies.
As the nation continues a debate over gun laws, Casey told reporters in Philadelphia that it was important not to overlook what's already working. He cited three programs that have put more police on the streets and provided them with bulletproof vests - and noted that funding for those initiatives has dropped dramatically in the last two years.
