Mobile Command Unit
In 2003, the City of Burleson was awarded a $455,374 State Homeland Security Grant by the Department of Homeland Security. The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) serves as the local grant administrator. The grant was awarded for the purchase of a mobile command vehicle. The command vehicle will serve public safety and emergency operation needs in the southern and southwestern portions of the 16-county region served by the NCTCOG. |
A significant portion of the nation’s homeland security efforts will be carried out at the local and regional levels. This command vehicle enables Burleson and the NCTCOG region to play a significant role in those endeavors. |
