Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2024, $2,590,000)

The proposed project seeks to enhance the operational efficiency and safety standards of the Hialeah Police Department's vehicle fleet by upgrading its aging patrol cars. Currently, a significant portion of the fleet is over five years old, leading to performance issues exacerbated by the demands of policing in a city like Hialeah. The primary objective is to procure and integrate new vehicles equipped with modern safety and performance features, replacing the older units. Anticipated outcomes include improved emergency response times, enhanced vehicle reliability, and overall public safety benefits. The project's service area encompasses the entirety of Hialeah, directly benefiting both residents and police officers. Intended beneficiaries include residents who will experience heightened public safety and more effective policing, along with police officers who will have access to safer and more reliable vehicles.
