Kansas law enforcement agencies are being invited to apply for more than $3.7 million dollars in federal grant funding to combat unlawful drone activity.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says the fiscal year 2027 Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems Grant Program will provide $3,725,420 statewide. Funding can support equipment, training and other efforts to detect, track and, where authorized, counter threatening drones. Priority areas include protecting crowded public venues and critical infrastructure. State, local and tribal law enforcement agencies are eligible, and no matching funds are required.
Applications must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. November 4th. More information is available through the Kansas Highway Patrol.
