The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted at its July 7 regular meeting to approve a resolution accepting a $98,163 grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance for the “COVID Officer Safety Initiative.”
According to a county staff report, this funding will allow the Henry County Police Department to acquire new disinfecting equipment and protection kits to help prevent, prepare and respond to the public amid COVID-19, specifically at times when law enforcement personnel are in contact with the public and sometimes cannot distance themselves from potentially infected people. No additional county funds will be required for this initiative.
