Marshal's office awarded grants

The Bayfield Marshal's Office is pleased to announce two grants from the Justice Assistance Grant program from the Department of Public Safety in the U.S. Justice Department.

The first grant was a third-year continuation request for the School Resource Officer program for $48,744. The officer rotates among the Bayfield schools and teaches a police academy class at Bayfield Middle School.

The second grant request was funding to help replace two of the office's old patrol vehicles. They received $40,000 for two vehicles.

This is the fourth time the Bayfield Marshal's Office has been awarded JAG grant funding to help fund department operations. The Marshal's Office has received $228,606 in funding during the past three years.
