The city of Merriam Woods will be doubling the size of their police department thanks to the hard work of their police chief and a donation from FEMA.
Merriam Woods Police Chief Nathan Lewis tells the Branson Tri-Lakes News as part of his goal to move the department into providing 24 hours a day, seven day a week coverage for the city, he knew he needed to expand the size of his department’s building.
FEMA and other government agencies have been donating used equipment to law enforcement agencies around the country, and all the departments have to pay is the cost to transport the items. In addition to the savings of not having to buy the building, Lewis said some of the department’s officers have experience with construction, and they’re volunteering their time to help renovate the trailer and the current police department building.
