USDA Rural Development Community Facilities Program Grant provides funding for essential community facilities in rural areas. It can be used for purchasing, constructing, and improving facilities, acquiring equipment, and covering related project expenses.
The Mendocino County Sheriff's Office plans to submit the SURE-UP: Strengthening, Upfitting and Resilience in Rural Law Enforcement: USDA Grant for Protection grant application to the USDA Rural Development Community Facilities Grant Program to secure funding to equip two specialized law enforcement vehicles with advanced emergency response technology, sophisticated communication tools, and essential safety equipment.

Their introduction will significantly improve response times, particularly in the challenging terrain of Mendocino County, making them a crucial resource for safeguarding public safety.
