Grants, Possibly for MDTs ?

[Pro Se]

Hello all, I'm a police officer for a small municipal police agency in Indiana. I have been hearing (could be rumor or untrue, IDK) talk about some type of grant for Indiana police agencies that pays for Mobile Data Terminals? Our agency is interested in catching up with times and putting those in our patrol vehicles, however we have to scrape up the funding first.

Anyone else here know anything about a grant, or know of any grants we could apply for?

Thanks a lot for your help.

I am not aware of any MDT grants but you might look in to the Secure Indiana grant. I was able to use the grant to purchase accident investigation equipment. It was a $4000 grant, it is a good start. Not sure where you are located, you might contact larger agencies for donations if that is an option. Good Luck!

The grant money has been drying up as of late. Partner up with the fire guys and throw 2 hog roasts a year and split the money. You should be able to make enough for some units.
