Warrington Township Awarded $250,000 Grant to Upgrade Police and Fire Technology

A $250,000 grant will fund replacement of unsupported Motorola radios and upgrades to body-worn and in‑car camera systems for Warrington’s police and fire departments.

In 2025 Motorola alerted Warrington Police that it would stop supporting the department’s aging portable radios and would phase out parts for existing body-worn cameras, prompting an equipment assessment. In mid‑2025 Motorola offered a modernization package; the township equipped officers and firefighters with new portable radios, provided body cameras so officers no longer need to share devices, and upgraded every patrol vehicle’s in‑car camera. A $250,000 grant secured with help from Representative Brian Munroe and an application prepared by Brittney Heller offsets costs, reducing the financial impact on taxpayers while modernizing emergency responder technology.
