Applicants Sought for Police Funding Panel

The city is seeking applicants for a new committee that will help decide how to spend state and federal funding on local police efforts.

Upcoming tasks for the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Committee include advising the City Council how to distribute $97,491 in federal funds and $237,582 in state monies.

The council makes all final decisions on how to spend the money.

Federal regulations require that the committee include one person from each of five groups: local law enforcement, the prosecutors office, the courts, schools and a nonprofit organization active in crime or drug prevention programs.
