(4/2022) Liberty Police Seek Cruiser Grant

The Liberty Police Department is in the process of applying for a federal grant for a new police cruiser, according to Chief Sherri Hansen.

Number crunching is currently underway, and the application is expected to be submitted before the end of the month, she said.

As Liberty provides police protection to Highland and Freedom townships as well, letters of support will be requested from those supervisors, Hansen said.

"Hopefully, that will give us a little bit of an edge there," she said, noting that, "Anytime you can get collaboration between several different municipalities or entities it raises the stock of your current application a little bit."
