Sheriff's Office Seeks $200,000 Virginia PSAP Grant for Call‑handling Equipment
Summary
Fauquier County sheriff’s office requested placement on the consent agenda to apply for a $200,000 Virginia Primary Safety Answering Point (PSAP) grant to offset part of a $320,000 call‑handling upgrade.
Fauquier County staff told the Board of Supervisors April 10 that the sheriff’s office will seek authorization to apply for a Virginia Primary Safety Answering Point (PSAP) grant of $200,000 to purchase call‑handling equipment.
County staff said the full project cost is $320,000 and that the requested grant would offset $200,000 of that total. According to staff, the grant requires no local match and was recommended by the county finance committee on March 19. The grant application was placed on the consent agenda for the upcoming regular meeting.
During the agenda review the board asked for the grant amount; staff confirmed the requested amount is $200,000. Staff did not provide additional technical specifications for the equipment or a project timeline during the review. The county did not state whether prioritized equipment vendors or procurement steps had been identified.
