Published 3 weeks ago
Description
The Washougal Police Department secured a $50,758 state grant for a TruNarc handheld analyzer that uses laser technology to identify suspected narcotics through packaging. Chief Zane Freschette says the device enhances officer safety by eliminating direct contact with hazardous substances like fentanyl while providing immediate on-scene results. The grant covers equipment, training for 12 officers, and one year of supplies through Washington State's Justice Assistance Grant program. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/washougal-police-department-receives-grant-for-narcotics-detection-device/ #WashougalPolice #GrantFunding #OfficerSafety #DrugDetection #PublicSafety #LawEnforcement #ClarkCounty #Washougal #Police
