The Alexander City Council approved a plan to spend $638,000.00 for four new police cars, body and dash cams and raises for police officers. The plan was proposed by Police Chief Robert Burnett, at the November council meeting, as a way to use most of the remaining funds in the city’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) account. The approval by council members came at the December 19 council meeting.

Burnett decided to go with four Dodge Chargers with the V-8 engine at a cost of $34,700.00, for the vehicle. The cost of additional equipment and decals brings the total to $46,800.00. Four new police cars equals $187,200.00.
