The department says their application for the grant has been approved, and the money will go toward the purchase of a Lenco Bearcat G3 armored vehicle.
"The vehicle will have many uses and applications. We look forward to explaining more about it in the near future as it will take a few months to be built from the factory," The department said in a Facebook post.
As part of the same grant program, several other western Kentucky agencies will also receive awards. Click the link below to find out more about the program.
