The Guam Police Department is set to enhance its operational capabilities following the approval of over $400,000 in FEMA project grants. This funding, allocated in response to the impacts of Typhoon Mawr, will support various improvements within the department.

During the recent FY2026 Budget Hearing held on June 13, 2025, officials highlighted the significance of these grants, which will not only bolster the department's resources but also enable the training of additional canine handlers. This initiative aims to improve public safety and response effectiveness in the wake of natural disasters.

The funding is part of a broader effort to ensure that the Guam Police Department can better serve the community and adapt to challenges posed by severe weather events. As the department implements these operational enhancements, residents can expect a more robust law enforcement presence and improved emergency response capabilities in the future.
