Issue Detail: The Police Department requests authorization to accept a federal grant award of $795,286 from the US Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance via the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economy Security (CARES) Act.

Under the program, allowable expenses incurred between January 20, 2020 and January 31, 2022 may be reimbursed via the grant.
