Oklahoma Attorney General's Office awards grant money to all Sheriff's Offices in the state.

 

State Attorney General Gentner Drummond's office has awarded grant funding totaling $18 million to provide support for every county sheriff’s office in Oklahoma. The funding comes through a new program created by the state Legislature this year to enhance law enforcement services.

 

 

Grants ranging from $150,000 to $300,000 have been distributed to all 77 counties based on their total tangible property valuation. Funds will be used for sheriff's office operations including training, technology, equipment, capital improvements, stipends and more.

 

Drummond said the funds will positively impact all areas of the state by strengthening public safety for all Oklahomans.
