CARTER ANNOUNCES $493,614 GRANT TO TARLETON STATE

08/30/06

Washington, DC, Aug 30, 2006 - U.S. Congressman John Carter (TX-31) announced that Tarleton State University has received a $493,614 grant from the Department of Justice. Congressman Carter was responsible for securing these funds for Tarleton State in the Fiscal Year 2006 Appropriations bill. The grant will be used for Tarleton State University’s Rural Law Enforcement Information Technology and Anti-Terrorism Service Center, which provides technological support to rural law enforcement.

“I am pleased to have helped secure funding for this important initiative that will allow Tarleton State to continue supporting local law enforcement,” Congressman Carter said. “There is an urgent need for information technology resources in rural areas across the nation, and this program gives rural law enforcement in Texas important access to computer technology and anti-terrorism training. This technological support gives rural police departments the resources needed to better protect the communities they serve.”

The purpose of this Tarleton State University program is to provide computer access, technical assistance, and anti-terrorism training to small city and county law enforcement operations in coordination with other state and federal resources. The project is focused on 30 law enforcement agencies throughout Texas.
