Police Grants Posted By: Ben Butler May 16, 2009 @ 4:18 am Today's Local News Tweet Share Email The Washington Police Department is hoping to get a new officer, and some new equipment. Chief Greg Goodman says they've applied for a Cops Recovery Hiring Grant, and another that would help them buy tactical equipment. Goodman says they still haven't heard about either of those grants. He says an additional officer would reduce overtime costs.
