Red Bay Equipment Purchase Project

The Edward Byrne Memorial Discretionary Grants Program (Byrne Discretionary Program) helps local communities improve the capacity of local justice systems and provides for national support efforts. This project is authorized and funded through a line item in the FY 08 Congressional Budget. Funds should be used for purposes recommended by Congress.

The Red Bay Police Department will purchase a K-9 for the detection of drugs and for tracking endangered persons. The grant will also fund equipment for the K-9, a K-9 bullet resistant vest, six ballistic shields to be utilized by a multi-agency special operations team.
