FRANKLIN COUNTY — The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office recently received a grant from the Law Enforcement Education Foundation in Atlanta, Georgia for $10,724 that will be utilized to upgrade and greatly improve the in-car radio communications equipment within county patrol vehicles.

The Foundation’s mission is to support law enforcement agencies and personnel by providing information, education, training, equipment and related assistance. The Foundation’s activities are designed to improve the safety and performance of active and retired officers and agencies and to inform and educate on topics of current concern to the men and women of law enforcement and the citizens they serve.

Sheriff David Bartoni says he is grateful to the Law Enforcement Education Foundation for their support of local law enforcement.
