Summary

The Wilson County Sheriff informed the Law Enforcement Committee that a tactical vehicle discussed previously may be fully funded by a federal grant and that he expects to accept the grant next month, pending federal processes.

The Wilson County Sheriff told the Law Enforcement Committee on 2025-11-09 that a tactical vehicle the department has discussed previously would be fully funded by a federal grant.

"They're paying 100% of that vehicle," the sheriff said, noting that he expects to present a formal acceptance next month if federal processing is not delayed. The sheriff cautioned that a temporary federal government shutdown could slow the timeline but said the department does not anticipate a county funding obligation for the vehicle itself.

The item was informational; committee members did not take formal action on the vehicle at the meeting. The sheriff noted there will be a forthcoming acceptance request when grant paperwork is ready.
