YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – More border support is coming to Yuma County.
It’s all thanks to a grant approved Monday morning by the Yuma County Board of Supervisors.
The grant of over a million dollars was awarded to YCSO by the Department of Public Safety.
The money will be used to help enhance law enforcement’s capabilities related to drug trafficking, human smuggling, illegal immigration, and other related crimes in Yuma County.
“Anything we can do to stop the flow of illegals coming across. The drugs that come across also,” said Darren Simmons, Yuma County Supervisor District 3.
The grant not only helps support the Yuma border, but also helps to keep the community safe.
