Council approves JAG grant applications for two police SUVs and 16 body cameras
Summary
Rangely council approved applications for two fully equipped Chevy Tahoes ($191,590) and 16 body-worn cameras with location trackers ($33,216). Members discussed potential annual costs for tracker services and noted equipment would replace older models.
The council approved two JAG grant applications: one seeking $191,590 to replace two fully equipped Chevrolet Tahoes (including equipment) and a second seeking $33,216 to purchase 16 body-worn cameras with location tracking. A council member clarified that if tracker services require ongoing fees, the police department will include that expense in future annual budgets and will not activate trackers if service is unavailable locally.
Motioners said the grants represent the full cost of equipment; councilors approved both applications without further amendment. The items were presented as grant applications (not final awards), and the town will pursue available federal grant funds.
