The Paris Police Department requests City Council approval to make application for the MVCPA FY -2027 Grant, and to enter into Interlocal Agreements with other participating Law Enforcement Agencies. BUDGET: The addition of one Administrative Assistant / Intelligence Analyst position to the Paris Police Department would (if approved) be funded 80% by the MVCPA Grant.
