Trappe police warn patrols will be reduced when grant funding lapses in September
Summary
Sgt. Aita reported current grant funds will run out in September, which will reduce patrol coverage. The Sheriff’s Office has applied for a replacement grant but, if awarded, it would not be available until October.
Sgt. Aita presented the monthly police report and told the council the current grant funds "will run out sometime during the month of September so patrols will be decreased." The Sheriff’s Office has applied for a new grant; Sgt. Aita said any award would not be available until October, meaning patrol levels will likely be lower for an interval between the grants.
Council members did not record additional mitigation steps in the minutes. The police report and related grant paperwork are filed with the town records; the minutes show the council was informed that patrol reductions are forthcoming because of the grant lapse.
