SALINEVILLE The village police department received $10,000 out of the $17,766 of grant money it applied for last month. Acting chief Keith Evanoff informed council of the newly received funds during Wednesday’s meeting.
The department originally applied for the Edward Bryne Memorial Justice Assistance grant to help fill needed coverage hours in the village, especially late at night. Evanoff said that with the money they will be adding an officer to cover the midnight to 8 a.m. shift three days a week. Currently, the county sheriff’s office provides those eight hours of coverage for the department, but the geographical location of Salineville compared to the sheriff’s office raises concern.
