Bella Vista Police Department to Purchase Two New Vehicles
BELLA VISTA, Ark. – The Bella Vista Police Department is requesting the purchase of two new patrol vehicles using unspent 2024 budget funds.
Reason for the Purchase
The department has cited increased service calls and wear on existing patrol units as justification for the purchase. The new vehicles would replace aging units that require frequent maintenance and repairs.
According to Police Chief James Graves, the purchase would improve response times, reduce maintenance costs, and provide officers with modern safety and communication technology.
Funding and Cost
The vehicles would be funded using leftover 2024 budget funds, with no additional taxpayer expense. The exact cost will be determined based on state-approved law enforcement contracts.
