The new vehicle will replace a 10 year-old vehicle, enhancing emergency response reliability throughout the Village.
“Ensuring that our police departments have the resources they need to succeed is one of the most important responsibilities of government,” said Senator Ryan. “This investment directly aids in Phoenix’s ability to serve and protect their residents. I’m proud to stand by our law enforcement and provide this funding for the Village of Phoenix Police Department.”
“Senator Ryan has done a fantastic job of bringing our taxpayers money back to Phoenix and putting it to work for our village residents,” said Village of Phoenix Mayor Brian Borchik. “I am extremely appreciative of his unwavering support of our community since the day he took office. I look forward to continuing to work with him for many years to come.”
“Senator Ryan’s decision to award this grant to the Phoenix Police Department demonstrates his continued support to public safety within our community,” said Village of Phoenix Police Chief Dan Ferazzoli. “Senator Ryan understands the budgetary challenges that small police departments have. He realizes that upgrading essential equipment in a timely manner not only enhances our ability to respond more efficiently to assist our citizens in need, it also improves officer safety. Thank you Senator Ryan for your generosity, your partnership, and for always striving to build a safer future for everyone we serve.”
