Crown Point Brings Back Novel Police Funding Solution
Filed Under Crown Point, David Uran, police, property tax crisis
How does a municipality raise money for police without raising taxes?
By developing novel solutions to funding problems.
Crown Point is bringing back its police car sponsorship program that began in 1995, reports the Post-Tribune’s Diane Krieger Spivak.
The Crown Point Police Department is reinstating its Adopt-a-Car program, whereby a business can lend its name to a squad car bumper for a $2,000 donation.
Pete Land, who was reinstated as police chief when former police officer Dave Uran took over as the city’s new mayor this month, got the go-ahead from the Board of Works and Safety on Wednesday to bring back the program.
“It’s a win-win situation,” said Uran, who remembers the program from when he served on the force.
The money is used to equip squad cars with emergency equipment such as light bars, radios and video equipment.
