    Summary

    The purpose of the Local Government Safety Capital Grant Program is to provide grants funds to be used for the purchase of vehicles, equipment, facilities, or systems needed to enhance Public Safety. The focus of the Local Government Safety Capital grants will be police, fire, and EMS-related purchases. Innovative and collaborative approaches to purchases are encouraged.

    Funds for this grant program are to be used primarily for hard costs associated with these purchases. Up to 5% of the grants funds may be used for soft costs, such as architectural and engineering fees, if needed.  Funds may also be used for training equipment/facilities, but not the training itself.
