Morehead Police Department Receives Grant from the Kentucky AG Office

The Morehead Police Department was recently awarded a grant from the Office of the Attorney General’s Department of Criminal Investigations. The grant is to help law enforcement and first responders purchase body armor, duty weapons, ammunition, electronic- control devices and body-worn cameras. The MPD specifically applied for assistance in purchasing new body armor for our new officers and to replace current vests that are due to expire. Body armor vests have a 5-year life span and need to be replaced once they have reached their expiration date. This grant ensures that every officer at the Morehead Police Department has an in date soft amour vest. The MPD has plans to apply for similar grants that will continue to meet their needs in the future.
