Back around February 2018 Sgt. Treadway began working on a Homeland Security Grant for the purchase of an armored vehicle. Today the Benton Police Department was informed of the approval of that grant. BPD was awarded $280,000 to purchase a Lenco Bearcat G3 armored vehicle. Attached is the letter sent out and a picture of a vehicle (this is not an exact picture but is a model G3 taken from Lenco's website). The vehicle will have many uses and applications.We look forward to explaining more about it in the near future as it will take a few months to be built from the factory. Sgt. Treadway is away at training this week but will be glad to answer any questions or clear up any confusion or misunderstanding. Feel free to send us a message for him and he will respond as time allows.
