Colfax receives police grant

COLFAX - Colfax received $27,000 in a state grant to cover half of the training of new police officer Tyler Paris.

Police Chief Bruce Blood informed the city council on Aug. 2.

"We've had past chiefs that have failed to go get that money," said Mayor Pro-Tem Jim Kackman.

A three-year $250,000 federal COPS grant helps fund benefits for Paris and a second new Colfax officer.
