BROKEN BOW – The Custer County Sheriff’s Office recently received a $7,000 grant from the Nebraska Department of Transportation Highway Safety Office.
Safety Office Administrator Bill Kovarik said the grant funds will go toward purchasing two in-car camera systems.
According to a release, Nebraska has once again qualified for highway safety impaired driving incentive funds. The NDOT Highway Safety Office has utilized this funding to aid local area law enforcement in obtaining in-car cameras and alcohol testing equipment used to help apprehend and convict impaired drivers.
“This funding and the ongoing persistence of law enforcement personnel continues to impact impaired driving crashes and the resulting injuries and fatalities,” Kovarik said.
