YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – The Yuma Police Department (YPD) says they were awarded two grants from the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS).
The grant money, totaling $41,062, will be used to “cover overtime costs for Selective Traffic Enforcement Programs and DUI/Impaired Driving Enforcement Details,” YPD says.
With the assistance of the GOHS, YPD says they will continue to make the community a safer place to travel in.
“We do have a lot more traffic in the winter time with more winter visitors coming in, so to be able to get extra officers out there on the road, to be able to pay them overtime through the grant money…it helps the community. It helps us, and it saves lives,” said Sgt. Lori Franklin with YPD.
