Chief Mike Myers reports $3300 NRA grant for training ammunition and trauma kits

Navasota's City Council meeting on June 11, 2025, highlighted significant advancements in public safety and community support through the successful acquisition of a grant from the NRA Foundation. Chief Mike Myers reported that the city received a $3,300 grant aimed at enhancing training for local law enforcement. This funding, which required no matching contribution from the city, will provide essential training ammunition for pistols and rifles, as well as two first aid trauma kits.

The grant, finalized after an application process that began in October, underscores the city’s commitment to equipping its police force with the necessary resources for effective training and emergency response. This initiative not only strengthens the capabilities of local law enforcement but also enhances community safety.

In addition to the grant update, Project Manager Matt Dooling was scheduled to provide insights on the city’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), indicating ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure and services in Navasota. The council's focus on securing funding and planning for future projects reflects a proactive approach to community development.

As Navasota moves forward, the implications of these decisions are clear: enhanced training for law enforcement and continued investment in community resources are vital steps toward ensuring a safer and more prepared city.
