Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

The Lee County Sheriff’s Office is planning to apply for a grant to help replace its aging patrol vehicles. The grant, if awarded, would provide $4,098,693 for the Sheriff's Office and about $100,000 for Florida Gulf Coast University’s Police Department. The funds for the university would purchase one patrol vehicle, one drone, and one electric bicycle. This item is currently under review as a grant application is being prepared. The project would involve the procurement of new vehicles and equipment. This early stage presents an opportunity for suppliers of vehicles, drones, and related equipment to engage with the Sheriff's Office and the University Police Department before procurement processes are finalized.
