Posted: Police awarded grant money for training
By
Staff Writer The Middletown Community Foundation awarded
Middletown Police a $10,000 grant that will be used for training, according to
police. The money is needed, Sgt. Andy Warrick said, because there are no
training dollars allocated for 2015. “Due to budget cuts, training is one of the
areas that’s hardest hit,” Warrick said. The overall budget for the police
department is projected to be approximately $750,000 less next year compared to this year, according to
Middletown Police. The money will be used to send detectives
to specialized classes, and for evidence technicians to learn new techniques,
and to teach officers how to operate new equipment, according to police. Warrick says some supervisors may also
attend the Warrick said he isn’t done searching for
more grant money for the department. He plans to mail a grant request this week
to the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation, he said. The
foundation seeks to support police and fire departments throughout the Warrick says Middletown Police was awarded
$8,000 a few years ago from the Roethlisberger Foundation. “We put in canine pads, six kennels with
overhang protection for canines during training to protect them from inclement
weather. This year I’m reapplying for that for our storage facility and to
obtain more equipment,” he said. The deadline to apply for the grant is Aug.
15, according to Warrick. He says the winner will be notified next fall during
the week of the Steelers-Bengals game at Paul Brown Stadium. Some of the new training dollars will be
spent this year, but Warrick said the majority of the money will be spent
during the first six months of next year.
