Edcouch Police Department has consistently received federal grant awards, predominantly through the Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) program, which is designed to enhance border security and law enforcement coordination. These grants, administered by the Texas Governor's Office and supported by federal agencies, focus on high-visibility enforcement activities aimed at detecting, deterring, and interdicting criminal and terrorist activities along international borders. The grants enable the police department to acquire specialized equipment, utilize overtime funding, and support collaborative efforts among local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. Additionally, the department has received a Community Project Funding/Congressional Directed Spending award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for economic development initiatives, with a project period extending until August 2032. The sub-awards consistently emphasize border security, interdiction efforts, and public safety enhancement, particularly in areas near Mexico's international borders.
