(KNZA)--The Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas has received a $150,000 grant for the purchase of three police patrol cars.
According to a news release from the Tribe, the community development grant was awarded by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community in Minnesota.
Tribal Chairman Lester Randall said the grant will help the Kickapoo Tribe upgrade its law enforcement capabilities and improve safety for its officers, tribal members and the public at large.
The Kickapoo Tribe has seven full-time officers who serve around the clock within the 30-square-mile reservation.
Randall said the Kickapoo Tribe has a lengthy history of cooperation with the Shakopee Mdewakanton Tribe. The tribe previously provided $1 million to the Kickapoo Tribe to help fund its new Tribal Government Center and support its Boys & Girls Clubs.
