Frisco police could get federal funds for more drone equipment and software licenses.

City Council unanimously approved the submission of a grant application for $350,000 in federal funds as part of its consent agenda Oct. 7.

The details

The $350,000 could go toward buying more Federal Emergency Management Agency-approved drone equipment, licenses to already approved software and crowd control equipment, according to city documents.

If approved, the funds would be administered through the State Homeland Security Program.


This is a federal grant program meant to fund projects that “support state and local efforts to prevent terrorism and targeted violence and prepare for the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the security of Texas citizens,” according to www.texas.gov.

Frisco could get the funds in January if approved.

What else?

The Dallas-Fort Worth area could get more than $1.6 million to fund projects under the State Homeland Security Program, according to city documents.
