• In September of 2010, Livingston Police Department was notified it had successfully acquired a U.S. Department of Justice COPS Hiring Program (CHP) grant in the amount of $177,703. CHP grants provide 100 percent funding for approved entry-level salaries and fringe benefits of full-time officers for 36 months.

• Livingston Police Department, assisted by the Deep East Texas Council of Governments, replaced the existing police radio system with a new technology, digital radio system to meet future radio systems requirements. This required the replacement of all existing radio equipment, including repeater/base station, dispatch radio consoles, walkie-talkies and mobile radio units. Funding for the system came from grant allocations to the State of Texas from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

• The department purchased a new patrol car to replace an older patrol unit taken out of service.

• The Livingston Police Department’s Caran Coward Memorial Scholarship was awarded to four graduating seniors from Livingston High School. Department employees raised funds for the scholarships by cooking and selling hamburgers at the local Lowe’s home improvement store.

• The Police Department, along with officers from other area law enforcement agencies, participated in the annual competition with the Go Getters, Livingston’s Special Olympics Basketball Team. Volunteers from the department cooked hamburgers for attendees and also competed against the Go Getters. For yet another year, the law enforcement team was defeated in this annual basketball game.
