The Lancaster Police Department has received federal money to buy bulletproof vests for its officers.
On Tuesday, Lancaster City Council voted unanimously to authorize the department’s acceptance of a $5,619 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice.
The money will pay for half the cost of 20 new bulletproof vests.
“We’re fortunate to get that,” Police Chief Hugh White told council members said. “I appreciate the Department of Justice giving us what we need to operate.”
