Laredo Police Department Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response

The Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding (CESF) Program allows States, U.S. Territories, the District of Columbia, units of local government, and federally recognized tribal governments to support a broad range of activities to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus. Funded projects or initiatives may include, but are not limited to, overtime, equipment (including law enforcement and medical personal protective equipment), hiring, supplies (such as gloves, masks, sanitizer), training, travel expenses (particularly related to the distribution of resources to the most impacted areas), and addressing the medical needs of inmates in state, local, and tribal prisons, jails, and detention centers.

The Laredo Police Department will use the FY 20 Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding for computer equipment, Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) and Sanitizing Supplies and Overtime. Their goals are to maintain effective police services, investigations and crime prevention during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency and future threats the Department may encounter.
