The Lee County Sheriff's Office is planning to submit a grant application for up to $700,000 to fund the FY 2025 De-escalation and Crisis Response Training Program. This program, offered by the US Department of Justice, aims to develop or expand de-escalation and crisis response training. If awarded, the funding could be used for purchasing a new virtual reality training system or updating an existing one. This item is currently under review as a grant application. The project would involve the procurement and installation of specialized training equipment. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in technology and training equipment could find opportunities by engaging early before final specifications and procurement processes are set.
