What happened
The Town of Somerville is receiving nearly $200,000 in federal funding designated for its police department. The funds, secured through community project funding, are intended for new vehicles and technology upgrades, including computers and radar units in patrol cars. The funding was successfully secured by Congressman Dale Strong and Senator Katie Britt.

Why it matters
The funding is not drawn from the town’s operating budget, which leaders stated saves money for taxpayers. The leaders also plan to donate one of the replaced police vehicles to the Somerville Volunteer Fire Department.
