Should the community choose to review the grant proposal and the presentation; the information will be made available by contacting the Office of the Business Manager at the local police department in which a copy will be provided for external review. The current administration is proposing that the funds be allocated toward new modems in laptops for patrol cruisers as well as employee counseling and training programs.
The proposed grant of $100,000 from the philanthropist in town would best be used with a dual purpose. Increasing the technological advancement of replacing worn out, and outdated modems in patrol cruisers is part of the option to use the funds. The other option in conjunction with the replacing the modems is to add training of employee's to use the new modems and counseling for employees in relation to stress relating to job performance.

The new modems and laptops should be placed into the patrol cruisers as soon as possible to increase the effectiveness, productivity, and reduce the stress levels of employees by allowing the communication process to be more streamlined.
