This project will replace essential equipment that has become outdated, expired, or beyond repair for the Cedar Rapids Hazard Devices Unit who work to address safety hazards, including dangerous materials and other items, for the citizens of Cedar Rapids and the greater Linn County area. Specifically, this funding will support the purchase of one National Institute of Justice–certified bomb suit and two explosive ordinance disposal/special response team robots. This new equipment will provide law enforcement with the necessary tools to mitigate risks and strengthen their ability to adequately respond to potentially dangerous events.
