Deluzio Announces $50,000 in Federal Funding for Harmar Police Department Cruiser
HARMAR TOWNSHIP, PA – Today, Congressman Chris Deluzio (PA-17) joined local law enforcement to celebrate the $50,000 that he secured for a new cruiser and dash camera system for the Harmar Township Police Department. He also toured to see the new cruiser.
“To best protect and serve the people of Harmar Township, the Police Department needs reliable, high-quality vehicles and equipment,” said CongressmanDeluzio. “I’m proud to bring home $50,000 in federal funding to build up the fleet of police vehicles here in Harmar Township, so that they have the tools to keep our community safe.”
The award announced today funds the Township’s purchase of a new police cruiser. Because of the several major highways that pass through Harmar Township, the area has a large number of visitors. The new police cruiser, as well as the updated camera system, will help the Police Department better collect and record evidence, as well as maintain public trust in law enforcement.
This federal investment comes from Community Project Funding that Congressman Deluzio secured in the government funding package, with fifteen projects totaling more than $15 million for Pennsylvania’s 17th Congressional District. Three of those projects, including this one for Harmar Township, specifically focus on police departments, bringing a total of more than $1.26 million in funds for cops in the region.
