Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2024, $963,000)
Guadalupe County has experienced a significant increase in residential and commercial development. As such, Guadalupe County and its cities have felt the burden of the change, including increased criminal activity, critical incidents, drug trafficking, human smuggling, threats against schools, and violent crimes. These increases have required all law enforcement agencies throughout the county to respond to these types of events more frequently. Guadalupe County needs an adequate number of patrol vehicles to meet the needs for responding to these incidents. The vehicles’ capabilities and modifications make them an invaluable response tool for the county’s rural community and will thus, enhance law enforcement’s critical capabilities to protect and serve Guadalupe County residents.
