to-date training, equipment and operating tools. To apply, a local jurisdiction must expend a specified
amount of funds in direct support of their emergency response communication units. These expenses can
be for supplies, training, equipment, or other items with direct linkages to emergency response
communication efforts. Once the threshold is , the jurisdiction can receive a pro-rated amount based
on population. The City of Fort Worth' s Fire Department has been receiving annual awards since 2010.
The City's Police and Fire Departments both receive annual funding from this resource. The Fire
Department intends to expend its $126,435.66 in Fiscal Year 2015 allocations to procure equipment that is
eligible under the program. The utilization of PSAP funds will allow for the funding of the equipment
without requiring additional General Fund appropriations,
