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.

The federal grant amount is for $440,000, and the extension runs until March 30, 2025.
