Danbury applies for 'texting while driving' enforcement grant

There could soon be more Danbury police looking out for those who text and drive.  The Police Department has received approval from the City Council to apply for a grant from the state Department of Transportation. 

 

Council President Joe Cavo says there would be four officers and one supervisor working 56 hours each on the enforcement.

 

The federal funding through the division of highway safety can be applied for in June.  The cost of the program will be no more than $15,000 with the state covering 75-percent and the City being responsible for the other 25-percent of the cost. 

 

The City's $3,750 portion is available in the Police Department's budget for the current fiscal year.
