U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) says that more than $13 million in new funds for Kansas law enforcement agencies was included in the Fiscal Year 2023 Appropriations Package.
“Our Kansas law enforcement officers need the best tools and training to be able to do their jobs and keep their communities safe,” said Sen.

Allen County Sheriff’s Office, Andover Police Department, Colwich Police Department, Derby Police Department, Dodge City Police Department, Edwards County Sheriff’s Office, Ellis County Sheriff’s Office, Great Bend Police Department, Hays Police Department, Hugoton Police Department, Hutchinson Police Department, Independence Police Department, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Junction City Police Department, Kansas City, Kansas Police Department, Lenexa Police Department, Leavenworth County, Morton County Sheriff’s Office, Olathe Police Department, Prairie Village Police Department, Rooks County Sheriff’s Office, Russell Police Department, Salina Police Department, Saline County Sheriff’s Office, Seward County Sheriff’s Office, Shawnee County Sheriff’s Office, Shawnee Police Department, Topeka Police Department, Wabaunsee County Sheriff’s Office, Wallace County Sheriff’s Office, Wichita Police Department.
