The Cradlepoint grant assistance program was able to help the department navigate the Assistance to Firefighters Grant and reviewed their application and narratives before submission. Utilizing the same information, the department received a grant from the West Virginia State Fire Marshal, which allowed the department to begin the deployment.

“Using Cradlepoint’s FirstConnect program has been very helpful to facilitate the right grants for funding for our connectivity needs,” said Chief Jimmy Gianato of the Kimball Volunteer Fire Department. “In fact, it was so effective that we plan to use the program again to secure additional grant funding to assist in our department’s growing connectivity needs. Mobile broadband connectivity is essential to effective operations in today’s technology world. We are very appreciative of the assistance this program provides.”

Serving a population of approximately 25,000 citizens, the City of Faribault Police Department is a full-service agency protecting the citizens and visitors of Faribault, MN. When the agency needed to add surveillance cameras with associated Cradlepoint routers in their downtown area, the department sought out a $300,000 grant from the BJA Rural and Small Department Violent Crime Reduction Program.

“There are a number of grants that local agencies can take advantage of to support the acquisition of technologies that will enable better policing,” said John Sherwin, chief of police, Faribault Police Department. “We recommend that agencies explore grant opportunities independently or work with their technology vendors—the Cradlepoint FirstConnect program is a great example—to support funding of their projects.”
