Grant to give sheriff’s office new patrol vehicle

A grant will give the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office the chance to replace one of its outdated patrol vehicles.

The office said a Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) has been awarded to the LCSO in the amount of $8,999.23. The office said the money was obtained from a competitive grant through the Missouri Department of Public Safety. The award date is January 2016. The office said the grant will go towards the purchase of a patrol vehicle so the office can replace a high mileage/high maintenance patrol vehicle.
