Strong Touts Critical Funding for Scottsboro Law Enforcement

WASHINGTON—Today, Representative Dale W. Strong (AL-05) visited with the Scottsboro Police Department after securing $120,000 for new vehicles through community project funding in the Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) appropriations package.  

The congressionally directed spending enabled the Scottsboro Police Department to purchase new vehicles for their law enforcement officers to replace vehicles approaching the end of their operational life.  

“I am proud to have secured $120,000 in funding for the Scottsboro Police Department to purchase and outfit new patrol vehicles. This investment ensures our officers have the reliable equipment they need to protect and serve their community.

“Supporting our law enforcement is essential to maintaining the safety and well-being of North Alabama’s residents. Investments like this not only enhance public safety but demonstrate our unwavering support for the brave men and women who serve,” said Representative Dale Strong.  

Scottsboro Police Department was able to purchase two fully outfitted Ford Police Inceptor Utility vehicles. These vehicles permit the Department to investigate crimes on all severity levels with better and more up-to-date equipment.  

“We would like to thank Congressman Dale Strong and his office for allowing the Scottsboro Police Department the opportunity to apply for and obtain federal dollars through his office,” said Scottsboro Police Lieutenant Coty Durham. “With the funding from Congressman Strong, the Scottsboro Police Department was able to purchase new patrol vehicles in order to better serve our citizens!”
