Commissioners accept grant for ballistic windows; sheriff to use asset-forfeiture funds for transfer costs
Summary
The court accepted a grant (no county match) to equip law-enforcement vehicles with ballistic windows. County staff said the sheriff will use asset-forfeiture funds to pay about $1,200 to transfer windows if vehicles are wrecked or decommissioned.
Collin County Commissioners accepted a grant that will fund ballistic windows for law-enforcement vehicles with no county match required. County Administrator Yoon relayed the sheriff's office guidance that if a vehicle is wrecked or taken out of service, the ballistic window can be transferred to an identical replacement vehicle at an estimated $1,200 installation cost.
Yoon said the sheriff indicated he would use asset-forfeiture funds to cover transfer costs and that the grant does not obligate the county to further purchases. The court approved acceptance of the grant by voice vote, 4-0.
What happens next: the sheriff’s office will manage installation and, when appropriate, use asset-forfeiture funds to move ballistic windows between vehicles; administration staff said salvaged windows would be reused where practicable.
