Webb City police receive $42,541 grant for vehicle equipment

WEBB CITY, Mo. — The Webb City Police Department was awarded $42,541.08 through the Jasper County Law Enforcement Sales Tax grant program for vehicle equipment, according to a Feb. 23, 2026, Webb City City Council packet.

The award was recommended and approved by the Jasper County Law Enforcement Sales Tax Grant Board. It provides dedicated funding for the department’s vehicle-equipment needs, potentially reducing the amount that would otherwise have to come from the city’s general operating budget. The award is for equipment; it does not announce the purchase of new police vehicles.

Under the grant terms, the department must use the money only for approved products or services. The award is reimbursable, so the department must document purchases with invoices, proof the items were received and proof of payment.

The next required step is for the department to return its acceptance letter within two weeks of receiving it. The council record does not identify the specific equipment covered by the award, and it does not establish when procurement or reimbursement will occur or whether the equipment has been delivered or installed.
