Manhattan, Mont. \u2014 Manhattan town leaders got an early look at public safety funding requests Thursday night as work begins on the town’s budget for the upcoming fiscal year.<\/p>\n
During a budget workshop, officials from the Manhattan Police Department and Manhattan Fire Department outlined several requests they say would help support services and operations as the community continues to grow.<\/p>\n
The Manhattan Police Department is seeking funding for upgraded Tasers, a new patrol vehicle, and continued support for the town’s school resource officer position.<\/p>\n
Police officials told town leaders the requests are intended to help maintain equipment and ensure the department can continue providing services to residents and local schools.<\/p>\n
The Manhattan Fire Department also presented plans for a new training center. According to department officials, the facility would provide dedicated space for classroom instruction, department meetings, and firefighter training activities.<\/p>\n
Town leaders emphasized that the requests remain in the early stages of the budget process and have not yet been approved. However, the proposals offer a preview of some of the investments being considered as officials work to finalize spending plans for the next fiscal year.<\/p>\n
The budget process will continue throughout the summer, with a preliminary budget expected to be approved in July. Final adoption of the budget is scheduled for August.<\/p>\n
