From a Nick Rahall Press Release
 
Huntington, WV (HNN) – If approved by the full House, the Senate and signed by the President, Cabell County will receive $1.4 million for state-of-the-art technology at the Cabell County Emergency Response Center. U.S. Rep. Nick J. Rahall (D-WV) announced that the money has been included in a bill approved by the House Appropriations Committee.
 
"The Cabell County Emergency Response Center is an essential part of our law enforcement strategy to respond to national and local emergencies,” said Rahall. “This new funding, which I requested, will provide Cabell County with some of the most modern emergency response equipment available. I am proud to be of service to our law enforcement officers as they work to catch criminals and respond to emergencies."
 
Rahall’s $1.4 million will allow Cabell County to purchase the state-of-the-art technology for the Cabell County Emergency Response Center, which is used by Cabell County law enforcement and emergency personnel, the West Virginia State Police, and the Marshall University Campus Police and also serves as a back-up center for neighboring Wayne County 911.
 
“This funding will greatly aid in the ability of local law enforcement to provide more timely and effective assistance to Cabell and Wayne County citizens in the event of an emergency,” said Rahall.
