This power point is a summation of recent grants the department has received. The Traffic Grant will allow for extra traffic enforcement patrols beginning in Dec. 2020 and into 2021. It also allows us to train an officer as a traffic reconstruction expert.
We’re very pleased with the South County Opioid Working Group 1 million dollars which will bring many necessary resources to citizens in need of recovery, including a proposed recovery center. Executive Administrative Assistant Cara Becker is our liaison and provided valuable input.
The school grant establishes a ground breaking partnership with our school district. Cara Becker and Sgt. Paul Storti were at the table and involved in crafting the grant. It establishes a large role for GBPD to be involved in programs for mental health, anti-bullying, and anti-harassment as well as other school issues.
