Board approves resolution to apply for DOJ COPS hiring grant
Summary
The commissioners approved a resolution authorizing application to the U.S. Department of Justice COPS hiring program to pursue support for police staffing; the motion passed on voice vote.
The board voted to authorize an application to the U.S. Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) hiring program after a motion and second.
Engineer Andrew Bridal introduced the resolution language and the chair called the voice vote. The transcript does not include the proposed number of officers or a requested grant amount. If the township proceeds with an application, staff will return with grant details, requested funding amounts and any required local match or hiring commitments.
The resolution authorizes pursuit of available federal funding under the COPS hiring program; acceptance of any award and associated hiring or budgeting decisions would require later board action.
