East St. Louis is among the thirteen Illinois cities that are being rewarded more than $4 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Justice to support their law enforcement agencies. The grants are part of a grant program set up in honor of fallen officer Edward Byrne who was killed on the job in the 1980s. The grants will range from $3.1 million for Chicago to buy police cruisers and other equipment to just over $10,000 for Marion to buy in-car video systems.
