The Coffeyville Police Department is set to receive grant funding through a partnership program from the State of Kansas and the U.S. Department of Justice.

 

C-P-D has been awarded a $40,000 grant from the Federal Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant or JAG Program. Governor Laura Kelly announced the grant yesterday, on behalf of the Kansas Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. The funds are part of $1.9 million in such grants dispersed between 26 agencies across the state in order to improve public safety. The JAG awards made to local and state agencies fund programs designed to reduce and prevent crime, assist with equipment and technology needs and provide crime victim services.

 

Elsewhere in the area, the Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas in Crawford County received a $148,000 award.
