Court approves DOJ FY2026 equipment grant application for sheriff and constables (no match)
Summary
The commissioners authorized applying for a Department of Justice FY2026 bridging grant to purchase roughly $1.4 million in equipment for the sheriff's office and constables; the application requires no local match, and identified equipment includes body-worn-camera systems and VR training capabilities.
County staff described a Department of Justice FY2026 "bridging" grant opportunity to purchase technology and equipment for the sheriff's office and constables. About $1,400,000 in equipment was identified, including potential replacement vehicles, body-worn camera and related systems, and virtual reality training capabilities; staff emphasized the application requires no local match.
Commissioners moved and seconded a motion to apply, and the court approved the submission. One speaker noted the county learned of the opportunity through an email from Axon and that certain technology additions would be expensive without grant funding.
Quote (verbatim): "There is the intention of Palm Green County is to purchase equipment for the sheriff's office and the constables. There's about $1,400,000 in equipment that's been identified that we can ask for." — S10.
