A state grant has been approved to support the Webb County sheriff's department. This funding will be used to improve equipment for a specialized team. The grant amount is nearly $29,000 and comes with no financial burden on local residents.

The grant was requested by the sheriff and is part of a larger program focused on preventing terrorism. It allows for equipment purchases to be made until the end of August. Further information on this development can be found through local news sources, including KGNS, which reported on the grant approval by county commissioners.
