On June 24, 2014, the National City Police Department was approved to receive $180,900.00 in grant
funds from the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). The grant was approved for a one-year period beginning

injured; and to reduce fatal and injury collisions at intersections, involving red light runners, and where
unsafe speed was a factor.
