The funding allowed the department to purchase 17 tactical headsets and radios to be used in critical response situations.

“We received communication headsets that go for our SWAT team. On our helmets, they connect,” said Lt. Ben Thompson of the Lima Police Department. “They have noise-canceling technology to cancel out noise from the outside so we can talk to each other, speak clearly, plan effectively during our raids and our responses for critical incidences.”
