(KMZA)--A savings of more than $22,000 is expected due to a state grant received by the Nemaha County Sheriff’s Office.

According to a news release, the Kansas 911 Coordinating Council awarded the office a grant to replace and maintain a new voice recorder for the 911 Communications Center.

The grant, which requires a 40% match, will save Nemaha County around $22,600, with those funds to be used for future 911 expenses.

The funds were made available to the state agency through the national 911 grant program, which is administered through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration.

More than $2.5 million was awarded to Kansas.
