Our public safety grant consultants work with fire departments, law enforcement agencies, and other organizations from coast to coast. Now and again, we like to give a shout-out to some of these departments when they win grant awards. Their grant efforts paid off, and now those agencies have won crucial funding for their equipment, personnel, and communities.
Here are a few of their stories.

Public safety agencies can win grants, and yours can too
Are grants competitive? You bet. Does it take work to make them happen? For sure. Is success guaranteed? Of course not.
But when you put in the work, get the training you need, and work with an experienced public safety grants consultant, it could be your agency’s name going into the winner’s circle too.
