I noticed in the paper a while back our local police department was talking about grants. I went there and asked what grants are you receiving and what are you required to do to receive them. The dispatcher went in back and and a few minutes the detective came out and said to me we applyfor many grants and we get some of them. I asked are some for weapons. He said yes and the restrictions for those is we cant sell them to civilians. We must return them when they are worn out or we no longer need them. He also said that I could see what grants are available if I go to the DOJ website if I remember correctly. I didn't follow up with a freedom of information request because I don't want to become a target but I do some photography for some local reporters occasionally and I do suggest it as a story they should report. My questions were really not answered as I was not interested in the grants available just the ones my city police were partaking in...
