Henrico County Police Division Technology Enhancement

The Henrico County Police Division plans to use grant funds to purchase advanced technology equipment for two departments within the Division. The first purchase will replace an outdated unreliable portable x-ray device that will allow the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team to quickly get detailed, accurate, and reliable data required to make informed decisions for mitigating widespread damage and injury caused by improvised explosive devices. The second is to purchase night vision monoculars for the Direct Action Response Team (DART) that will assist the department in conducting safe surveillance missions and aid them in seeing any threats that may approach them under the cover of darkness. With these purchases, Henrico County expects to decrease overall crime to provide a safer community for its citizens, officers and visitors..
