The money will fund about 16,000 hours of overtime for the department as it boosts counterterrorism efforts, according to a Wednesday statement from the city. Police are beefing up their security measures after 49 people were killed at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. The gunman later died in a shootout with police.
"I'm proud to be able to help the City of Dallas," Cuban said in a statement.
"It was the right thing to do and I will do more of it in a future," Cuban told CNBC in a Wednesday email.
