Riley County Commission moved Monday to file an extension on a grant for a specialty police vehicle.
The Riley County Police Department applied and was awarded the COPS Technology Grant in 2022 but it fell through due to production delays at Ford Motors. Commission Chair John Ford believes this time will be different.
The specialty vehicle would be used by the hazardous materials evidence and negotiations team, along with being used for crime scene investigation, or CSI.
The federal grant amount is for $440,000, and the extension runs until March 30, 2025.
