(WTVA) – The Chickasaw County Sheriff’s Office has received a record-setting grant. The law enforcement agency has secured a grant of $1 million through the COPS program. Sheriff James Myers said the funds will go toward new equipment, such as radios, body cameras, patrol vehicle-mounted cameras, and new cruisers. “When you apply for something like this, you don’t even think about if we get $250,000,” Sheriff Myers said. “We will be very blessed. And when we got our award letter, we received the full amount of the grant, which was a million dollars.”  Copyright 2026 WTVA. All rights reserved.
