Dothan, ALABAMA – According to the statement, the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs is administering the award from funds provided annually to Alabama through the U.S. Department of Justice.
The grants enable law enforcement agencies to purchase or replace personal protection equipment for their officers.
ADECA administers a wide range of programs that support law enforcement, victim programs, economic development, water resource management, energy conservation and recreation.
Governor Ivey released the following statement:
“I cannot say thank you enough to our state troopers and all law enforcement officers in Alabama who put their lives on the line when they put on that badge.
It is my prayer that no officers are injured or worse because of someone’s senseless and selfish actions. These vests will provide an added layer of protection when our officers enter potentially dangerous situations.”
