The grant, sourced from Governor Greg Abbott's office, aims to combat border-related crime. Additionally, it will cover overtime pay for officers and provide new radios and gear. Importantly, the city will not need to contribute local tax dollars to access these funds, which will be utilized throughout the 2027 fiscal year.
