Sheriff's Office accepts $36,249 Firehouse Subs grant for specialized SORT equipment
Summary
Tom Green County accepted a $36,249 no-match grant from the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation to purchase specialized camera equipment for the Sheriff's SORT team and other urgent operations.
The court approved acceptance of a $36,249 no-match award from the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation to buy specialized camera systems for the Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's lieutenant described the equipment as a specialized camera system that can go under doors and walls and be used by special operations or structure searches; the court voted to accept the grant and adopt a budget to receive the funds.
"We're just here to hopefully accept the grant funding of $36,249," the lieutenant said when presenting the award. Commissioners thanked the sheriff's office for pursuing the funding; the court voted in favor by voice to accept the grant and authorize budget adjustments to account for the award.
