McCready chaired sub committee on Michigan State Police approves budget.
The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Michigan State Police today approved the department’s fiscal year 2013-14 budget, committee chairman Rep. Mike McCready, announced.
“The Michigan State Police provide a vital service to the people of Michigan, keeping them safe and providing assistance whenever and however they can,” said McCready, R-Bloomfield Hills. “Making responsible budgeting decisions gives citizens peace of mind knowing they have a reliable, able-bodied police force ready to tackle any situation that may arise.”
McCready worked with House leadership and the Snyder administration to develop a budget that will allow the Department of State Police to update its resources and run the department efficiently.
Funding within the budget is allocated for programs including a trooper recruit school, equipping trooper vehicles to serve as mobile offices, and setting aside more dollars for the Emergency Contingency Fund. Updates to outdated forms of transportation such as police cruisers and tactical vehicles also will be made.
“I’m proud that we were able to create a budget that focuses on getting more feet on the street and partnering with local law enforcement in communities that need it the most,” McCready said. “This budget gives our police force the tools it needs to provide Michigan residents with a safer place to live.”
The budget now moves to the full House Appropriations Committee for consideration.
