Community Fund grant supports Olean Police Department drone purchase, public safety
OLEAN, N.Y., June 2, 2023 — Thanks to support from the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation’s Community Fund and the Bill & Cathy Fraser grant program at the United Way of Cattaraugus County, the Olean Police Department recently acquired a new drone that will serve as a tool to enhance the public safety of those in the greater Olean area.
The CRCF board of directors approved a grant of $1,500 to the Olean Police Department for the drone purchase in 2022, but due to the need for additional funding and supply chain-related delays, the drone was acquired this month.
For the Olean Police Department, the drone will serve as a tool that helps further the public safety of the community it serves to protect.
