Recommendation and Review
This is a grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice through the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant. The City of Harrisonburg plans to use the fund provided through the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant to purchase equipment for the Police Department to aid in training, Geo-Mapping for community service initiatives, logistical planning for major events and large-scale operations and effective incident scene command.
The city will utilize $13,315.00 of total funding for this grant project. Of this total amount, the City plans to utilize $13,315.00 in federal funding as awarded through this grant program in order to realize the goals of the project. The City of Harrisonburg does not have the finances necessary to budget for the items outlined in this program’s narrative and does not anticipate acquiring these funds. Additionally, funding for the items listed in this grant proposal is not being sought from any other sources (federal, state, local, foundation, etc.), thus no funds or potential funds are being supplanted through this project.
The items that the City of Harrisonburg will purchase for the Police Department with granted funds to increase the ability to train, conference, investigate, collaborate and inter-operate with the EOC include two InFocus MondoPad M-Touch 57-inch tablets ($10,728.16) with two Apple TV’s to connect mobile devices and hardware to the tablet ($140.00 total), two iPad Airs for interactive control of the tablets ($1,114.00 total), mounting hardware for one of the MondoPad units to hard-mount it in one of the training rooms ($318), and a mobile cart for the second unit ($1,015.00).
