The Frisco Police Department will spend over $1 million on equipment and technology, largely focused on updating its fleet of vehicles.

Frisco City Council approved the spending at its Jan. 6 meeting.

The details

The department will draw funds for the purchases from its operating budget. Planned expenditures include:

• $188,449 for in-car video systems
• $109,843 for two Chevrolet Tahoes
• $285,503 for mobile and portable radios
• $1 million to upfit vehicles in FY 2025-26

Also of note

As part of the upgrades, Frisco police will fit two Chevrolet Tahoes with Grappler Police Bumpers, a device that can be used to stop fleeing vehicles by trapping their rear tire.

According to a post on the department’s social media, Frisco officers completed training with the new technology in December.
