$198K grant will upgrade Holley PD with new patrol vehicle, body cameras and tasers
HOLLEY – A nearly $200,000 grant will upgrade equipment for the Holley Police Department.
The federal funding was accepted by the Village Board last month. The U.S. Department of Justice makes the money available to states and local jurisdictions.
Holley was awarded $198,546. That will pay for a 2025 Dodge Durango patrol vehicle that is fully set up with technology for the Police Department, said Police Chief Bob Barton.
The Holley PD also will replace five body cameras and 10 tasers. It will also be part of the LiveScan fingerprinting and photo database through the state Division of Criminal Justice Services.
Barton said the grant will make a big impact on the Holley department that includes three full-time officers and seven part-timers. The full-timers include Barton as chief, and officers A.J. Fisher and Nick Pahura.
Holley also received a $15,845 grant for new computers and technology in the two police vehicles.
