Applications are now due by the close of business, 5:00 PM on February 23, 2022.
Any applications received after that date and time will not be considered in the 2022 process.
There is still a $25,000.00 limit with a 10% department match.
The application link is available on our website, on Facebook and has been emailed to the chiefs and training officers.
