Loss Prevention Specialist Jeff Arp of MIRMA informed the Palmyra City Council on Oct. 2 that the Palmyra Police Department will receive a $3,375.00 risk-grant award toward purchase of a new dash camera.

Separately, Council Member Steve Bland reported on a police committee discussion about purchases under the Blue Shield Grant, which the committee said can allocate up to $50,000.00 in reimbursable purchases.
