In September, the police department applied for a grant through the Texas Governor’s Office to purchase 25 of the shields, which the department says are portable-sized and resistant to pistol and rifle rounds.

The department received the grant and accepted a delivery of the shields on February 9th.  The shields will provide an extra layer of safety during high profile incidents, and each officer will be issued a shield to carry in their patrol unit.

The department says the shields have already been assigned to each officer.
