SUMMARY:
The Pensacola Police Department (PPD) submitted a grant application to the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, under the BJA FY 20 Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding Program to support efforts with purchasing laptops.
During the height of the COVID19 pandemic City employees were encouraged to work from home, where possible, in an effort to restrict the spread of the virus. During this time, a shortage of laptops made it difficult to fully implement these safety procedures. In order to rectify the issue, the Pensacola Police Department (PPD) submitted a grant application to the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, under the BJA FY 20 Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding Program to support efforts with purchasing laptops. These laptops will allow more employees to work from home should the need arise in the future.
The grant award for the BJA FY20 Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding Program is $81,255.00. This grant award has given Pensacola Police Department a one-year extension due to COVID, teleworking communication factors and staff turnover resulting in not meeting the original grant deadline.
