The City of Smithville has two new four-door Dodge Chargers for the Police Department thanks to a USDA grant which paid for most of the costs.

The combined costs of the two Dodge Chargers was $51,630 but the city was approved for a USDA grant in the amount of $41,336 toward the purchase. The city’s local matching portion was $10,294.

The two new vehicles replace two older Ford Crown Victoria police cars which are being retired from service.
