Orlando has moved up on the list of cities that the Department of Homeland Security sees as critical for terrorism defense funding. After years of lawmakers and law enforcement leaders arguing for better funding, now, more than $3 million will be dispersed throughout the region.It's the most anti-terrorism money Central Florida has seen in many years -- double the amount the area was allocated last year, which was increased from nothing the year prior, following the Pulse nightclub terror attack.Orange County Sheriff John Mina has given testimony to Congress about these funds, and several area representatives say they advocated for the Department of Homeland Security to revise its formula for its Urban Area Security Initiative and the way it weighs visitors, events and "soft targets" to distribute funds. Among them -- Congresswoman Stephanie Murphy, saying, "Orlando is one of our nation's most popular destinations and home to a vibrant community that has endured tragedy and loss."The money will go toward more than 20 different projects and across several law enforcement and fire agencies. The list includes a command vehicle for Sanford police and a bomb robot for the Seminole County Sheriff's Office and other equipment. For Orange County, more than $200,000 of the funds will go to what's called a Cloud Cyber Security Defense Iniative. Mina said the funds will also help improve its command center for sharing intelligence. Another item on the list is a regional license plate reader.
