The small town of 5,000 that I live in has a MRAP as well and when you call the department the automated message you are forced to listen to says their primary purpose is to protect this town from terrorism. What? What ever happened to the peace officer that swore to serve their community. The federal government never "gives" grants without huge hooks attached in the pay to play crony capitalist political puppet show we now have, I can't image what the stipulations were to get the "grant".
