A Resolution to Accept the Homeland Security Local Competitive Grant for Soft Target/Crowded Places Protection
Summary
The Foley Police Department requested Council’s permission to memorialize the application submitted to the Homeland Security Local Competitive Grant for Soft Target/Crowded Places Protection on RES 21-1311.
