The Gardendale Police Department, through the help of State Senator Shay Shellnut, received a grant from the Community Service Fund that is available to state legislators.
The grant was for $39,435.71 and was used by the GPD for a new UTV (Utility Vehicle) to aid the GPD in times they are searching for suspects off-road. The Department chose a Polaris Ranger XP.
The UTV is top of the line, with a touch screen radio, GPS, back-up camera and front camera. The UTV also has air conditioning and heat as well as power windows. It seats 5 people.
