Troy PD gets $362K technology upgrade grant

The Troy Police Department will be upgrading some of its technological anti-crime efforts, thanks to receipt of a $362,000 grant from the state.

Police Chief Dan DeWolf said, "Policing in the 21st Century has become increasingly technological and police departments find themselves struggling to keep up with emerging products and tools. This funding will improve our existing capabilities and enhance our ability to investigate and deter criminal activity in the city. The Troy Police Department is thankful for this necessary financial award."

DeWolf said the department intends to improve and expand the city's camera system, including network improvements. It also will fund the enhancement of license plate readers and the purchase of a new drone.
