Today, state Senator James Maroney (D-Milford) is welcoming over $537,000 in funding approved by the State Bond Commission projects in Milford and West Haven. Funds will be allocated to the West Haven and Milford Police Departments, and the Bureau of Aquaculture in Milford.
“Both police departments deserve upgraded technology,” said Sen. Maroney. “Dash cameras and body cameras help improve officer safety and increase evidence quality. And, funding allocated to the Bureau of Aquaculture will help upgrade the environment for those employed. We need to make sure our employees feel valued when they come to work and with improved working conditions, it will have a significant impact on morale and productivity.”
Under the bonding agenda, funds will be allocated to nine police departments to reimburse them for the purchase of body cameras, dash cameras and video storage devices. West Haven’s police department is set to receive $192,846 and the Milford police department is set to receive $66,996.
Also under the Bonding Agenda, $277,500 is set to be allocated to the Bureau of Aquaculture in Milford. These funds will be used to address unexpected repairs, including parking, roof failures, energy conservation, safety, code compliance and building renovations.
