KS Atty General Derek Schmidt
(KNZA)--The Jackson County Sheriff's Office has been awarded a nearly $143,000 federal grant.
According to a release from Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, the sheriff's office will use the grant monies to replace outdated and obsolete in-car computers and add crime scene mapping capabilities to improve the speed and efficiency of investigations.
The release says the grant is part of the Edward J. Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Program and was awarded by the Kansas Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, where Schmidt serves as chair of the council.
A total of nearly $1.9 million in federal grant funds for criminal justice efforts were awarded to twenty-three agencies in the state.
