The Department of Homeland Security announced more than $97 million in port security grants for the 2012 fiscal year, which pales in comparison with the $235 million in grants during the 2011 fiscal year, $288 million in 2010 and $388 million in 2009, according to an article from the Journal of Commerce.

The largest grants went to the Port of Los Angeles, $6.9 million; the New York City Police Department, $5.457 million; the Lower Mississippi River Port-Wide Strategic Security Council, $4.975 million; the Hawaii Department of Defense, $3.891 million; Long Beach Container Inc., $3.335 million; Port of Long Beach, $2.88 million; and PPG Industries in Lake Charles, La., $2.35 million, the Journal of Commerce reports.
