Mobile County Law Enforcement Initiative

The activities proposed for this funding will be performed under the Memorandum of Understanding (Interlocal Agreement) between the City of Mobile and the County of Mobile.

The City of Mobile Police Department intends to utilize the funding for law enforcement improvement and safety. The City of Mobile is in need of new equipment that will promote and enhance officer safety. The equipment needed will provide officers with a safer work environment through new equipment purchases reducing the risk of potential injury to the officers, aiding citizens in transit, and testing/identification of harmful substances.

The Mobile County Sherriff's Office (MCSO) also intends to utilize the funding for law enforcement improvement. Mobile County Sherriff's Office plans to purchase police pursuit vehicles designed for high speeds and dynamic capability. They will be utilized as a "police cruiser" purposed for drug interdiction and crime suppression duties.
