Shawnee is seeking federal grant funding to support the purchase of K-9 training materials for the city’s police department. The Shawnee City Council on Aug. 10 voted 7-0 to enter a cooperative agreement with Overland Park and Olathe to jointly apply for federal funds through the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program. Councilmember Mike Kemmling was absent. Funding from the federal program supports state and local programs in law enforcement, courts, corrections and drug treatment.
