The Roswell Police Department plans to apply for a $25,560 FY 2023 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant to purchase EDR Tool Kits to conduct accident reconstruction investigations and speed reduction.

These funds will be utilized to spend $10,600 for Event Data Recorder (EDR) Tool Kits for Kia, Hyundai and Tesla vehicles and $14,960 for eight Dragon Eye Technology Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) units.

The EDRs will allow for reconstruction of serious injury/fatality accident investigations and the LIDAR units are used for speed detection.

There is no match required for this grant.
