(KNZA)--Three Brown County law enforcement agencies have been awarded grants to support the purchase of new equipment and technology.
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt announced the grant awards last week.
The Brown County Sheriff’s Office will receive just over $45,000 to purchase a license plate reader.
The Horton Police Department will receive more than $31,000 to purchase tasers and toughpads.
Kickapoo Tribal Police will receive nearly $26,000 to make safety and technology improvements to increase readiness.
The grants are part of the Federal Edward J. Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program and were awarded by the Kansas Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. Schmidt serves as the chair of the council.
