MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Alabama has received a grant of more
than $13 million to improve communications for police, fire and
other first responders.
Gov. Bob Riley said Monday the homeland security grant is the
result of Alabama receiving federal approval of its advanced
communications plan. Riley said Alabama is one of 20 states to
receive federal approval so far.
Alabama's homeland security director, Jim Walker, said it took
18 months to develop the communications plan.
The federal grant will be used to establish a statewide
communications system and make other improvements.
