BOSTON (WHDH) - The Baker administration on Tuesday allocated more than $9.6 million in federal Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding Program grants awarded to the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security’s Office of Grants and Research from the U.S. Department of Justice to be dispersed to more than 100 local state public safety agencies.
Eligible municipalities were invited to solicit up to $50,000 in total funding to benefit their police and/or fire department needs. In total, 65 fire departments and 44 police departments representing 94 cities and towns will directly benefit from the awards.
In a statement, Gov. Charlie Baker said, “These awards to municipal departments and state agencies across the Commonwealth demonstrate our commitment to providing our police officers, firefighters, and other public safety personnel with the necessary tools to effectively serve their communities while continuing to fight a pandemic.”
Lt. Gov. Polito said, “These grants will help aid local municipalities to purchase the additional safeguards necessary to protect our frontline workers against COVID-19. Massachusetts has made great strides in slowing the spread of this virus, and we will continue to support our local heroes with the resources they need to protect themselves and their communities.”
CESFP awards were also made available for competitive solicitation by state public safety agencies responsible for confronting the pandemic. The funding will assist agencies with outfitting staff with personal protective gear, purchasing deep cleaning sanitation equipment for correctional facilities and academies, utilizing video technology to conduct hearings remotely, and obtaining materials to reconfigure office space to enhance social distancing and protect essential workers.
