Fighting crime in today’s culture requires innovation, advanced equipment and ever-changing
technology. To provide these resources to our law enforcement personnel, the Grant
Coordinator in the Fiscal Division of the Sheriff’s Office works with agency personnel
to actively seek funding to complement the annual budget. Funding sources include
federal and state government agencies and sometimes even non-profit foundations
and organizations. Some grant funds are based on formulas that entitle the agency
to financial resources essential to law enforcement operations in the county. Other
grant funding is competitive, with applications being scored by a panel of reviewers.
When awarded grant dollars, the Sheriff’s Office is held accountable for monitoring
all activities associated with the approved project. The Grant Coordinator submits
reports on a regular basis to demonstrate that project activities are completed
as planned. In addition, all financial transactions are tracked and reported as
required.
