Barry Hager, a representative from CenterPoint Energy, presented a check for up to $2,500 to the Jordan Police Department tonight.

The business is paying for half of a radio unit for the city's emergency management mobile command center, which was obtained through a separate grant last year. The 800-megahertz radio system, expected to cost $4,873.75, will eventually broaden Jordan's connection to other law enforcement agencies. 

Police Chief Bob Malz, who made the grant application under the consultation of Fire Chief Steve Kochlin, accepted the donation during a Jordan City Council meeting.

The fire and police departments will split costs that are not covered by the grant from CenterPoint, according to Malz.
