The U.S. Department of Justice will award $28,153 to help fight crime in Esambia County (Ala.), Atmore and Brewton.
U.S. Senator Richard Shelby announced grants awarded through the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program, which provides funding for law enforcement agencies to implement programs that prevent and control crime based on their own identified needs.
Atmore, Brewton and Escambia County (Ala.) will share the $28,153 to purchase surveillance equipment for the narcotics and investigation division and bullet proof vests for patrol officers.
“Providing funds directly to our law enforcement officers allow them to control crime based on their own needs and is one of the best ways we can support our crime fighters.” Shelby said.
