It’s that time of year again! We have added $910,000 to the Safety and Loss Prevention Grant fund, and chances are your district will be getting a super-sized novelty check in the mail soon. Now is as good a time as ever to upgrade those old pieces of equipment and splurge on training.
Hundreds of districts receive a reimbursement of up to 50% of the cost of qualifying purchases. These purchases must be focused on preventing a covered risk,
so the number of eligible items is enormous.
We have allocated more than $5.8 million in just the last few years. This has helped pay for renovations, upgrades, purchases, trainings, CSD-sponsored programs, and more. In 2018 alone, we paid out over $500,000.
In the past few years members have purchased items such as fencing and security cameras, personal protective equipment, automatic external defibrillators, cyber vulnerability assessments, policy services such as Lexipol Fire, and more.
These funds go further when you combine them with discounts offered to Pool members for programs such as TargetSolutions, Check It, Convergence, and Sospes. You can find more information about these programs on our website.
Remember, these funds expire after five years if not used. There are a few things that are excluded, but we are happy to answer any questions you may have about potential purchases. This money doesn’t do anyone any good sitting in our account, so start spending today!
