Federal Programs

The Fiscal Affairs Section is additionally tasked in the development, coordination, and implementation of various Federal programs awarded to the department. The department has been fortunate to have received numerous federal financial assistance to enhance individual programs within the department to include grant-funded employees under the department.

The department had been working diligently with the U.S. Department of Transportation-National Traffic Safety Administration and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to develop and implement traffic records, safer highways and roadways, the U.S. Department of Justice – Justice Assistance Grants (formerly Block Grants) to enhance crime prevention, public safety and deterrence efforts, the U.S. Coast Guard to enhance Recreational Boating Safety, the U.S. Department of Agriculture – U.S. Forest Service to enhance Rural Fire Protection and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to enhance border security and CBRNE/WMD response.

The department continues to work with all grantor agencies to continue achieving the Mission of the department. Without the financial support and guidance from the grantor agencies, it would have been impossible to continue implementing these critical public safety programs.
