SIOUX FALLS S.D. (KELO AM) - A Justice Assistance Grant will help the Minnehaha County Sheriff's Office buy new radios for deputies to carry.
Kristin Trana says it will also help the county change the vehicle gun locks for added security.
She says both the portable radios and the gun locks will be swapped out over time.
Trana say the Sioux Falls Police portion of the grant will go for a multi-use department trailer and then also gas masks for the officers.
Nationwide, last year's JAG Awards totaled almost 256 million dollars last year.
