The Forney PD was one of twenty Texas law enforcement agencies to be awarded the grant out of 211 participating agencies. The grant money is designated for traffic safety equipment and/or training. A representative from the Forney PD said that the funds have been dedicated to new Watch Guard dash camera equipment for one of the department's newest patrol vehicles.
The latest Click It or Ticket campaign by the Forney Police Department ran last year from May 21st until June 3rd. During that time, Forney Police Officers issued 105 citations for seat belt violations and some for unrestrained children.
The Forney Police Department has been participating in several public safety campaigns in the recent years, including the No Refusal Weekend during Labor Day weekend.
