Missouri City’s police department could purchase a Flock drone if awarded a grant from the State Homeland Security Program.

In a nutshell

At a March 2 meeting, Missouri City City Council unanimously approved a resolution supporting the application for a $300,000 Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Activities Grant from the State Homeland Security Program to fund the purchase of the drone.

LETPA is a two-year grant with no match and would be used to purchase the first responder drone in fiscal year 2026-27, according to agenda documents.
