The federal government agreed to pay $16 million of the $30 million that the District of Columbia expects to spend on security for next month's World Bank and International Monetary Fund meetings.
The money will help pay for out-of-town police officers and the protective gear and medical supplies they may need.
The district will pay $12.6 million for overtime for its own police officers, firefighters, emergency service workers and the public works crews that will have to clean up after the meetings.
