TERRELL COUNTY & BREWSTER COUNTY, Texas (KOSA) - The Terrell County Sheriff’s Office has been awarded $3.2 million through the U.S. Department of Justice’s COPS Technology and Equipment Program to improve radio communications in Terrell and Brewster counties. The funding will be shared with the Brewster County Sheriff’s Office to improve critical radio communications across the two rural West Texas counties. According to the Terrell County Sheriff’s Office, reliable communications are essential to law enforcement operations, particularly in remote areas where maintaining contact can be challenging. The investment is expected to improve emergency response, interagency coordination and the safety of law enforcement officers and residents. The sheriff’s office said the grant funding is part of its efforts to bring federal dollars back to Terrell County and provide resources that directly benefit local taxpayers.
