BACKGROUND
Background
The Guilford County Sheriff's Office has received the 2015 grant from the Governor's Highway Safety Program in the amount of $73,735. The grant is made up of $62,675 in Federal/State Revenue and a, $11,060 county match. The DWI Taskforce Educator Program grant funds are to be used to fund an existing position, the DWI Taskforce Educator, for implementation of a community educational/support program which targets the schools, local businesses, insurance companies, and the courts. Funding will include salary and benefits for one full time grant-funded deputy position, as well as, in-state or out-of-state travel and educational expenses for the officer, and Air Card service.
The FY 2016 Law Enforcement budget already includes some of the grant revenues and expenses, as a result changes to the budget will only be: a $9,776 increase in appropriation to Law Enforcement and a $9,776 increase in Federal/State Revenue.
