Comal County to apply for Senate Bill 22 law-enforcement grant
Summary
The court authorized the County Judge to submit a grant application under Senate Bill 22 (88th Legislature) for the Sheriff's Office; staff noted prior awards funded equipment and salaries and recommended applying again.
The court authorized the County Judge to submit an electronic application for a law-enforcement grant established by Senate Bill 22 from the 88th Texas Legislature. The Sheriff's Office presented the request as a third consecutive application cycle; staff said prior awards were used for equipment in the first year and to supplement salaries last year.
The Sheriff and county staff recommended submitting the application and left use of funds to the court's determination if awarded. "This makes our 3rd consecutive year to apply for the Senate Bill 22 money," the Sheriff said. Commissioner Hogg moved to approve the application; Commissioner Leacock seconded and the motion carried.
Commissioners praised stakeholder groups and the collaborative work that supported passage of such legislation, noting the grant as a recurring funding opportunity for local law enforcement.
