Today Congressman Henry Cuellar, together with Atascosa Sheriff Tommy Williams, announced Appropriations funding for $70,500.

The funding will be used to purchase equipment to fight drug trafficking.  The four Atascosa County Constables will also benefit from this allocation with $2,000 each for equipment.

 “Our law enforcement officers must have the best equipment to fight drug traffickers,” says Congressman Cuellar. “We will continue supporting our law enforcement to ensure they are equipped with the latest technology and equipment for their safety and that of Atascosa residents. I appreciate Sheriff Williams’ leadership and the work of his Deputies and Constables in providing safety for residents of Atascosa County.”
