Oskaloosa Police Department is set to receive a major safety upgrade through a $500,000 federal grant secured by Congresswoman Miller-Meeks. Sector Technology Group will lead the deployment of our SAFECity integrated system. Over the next few months, we'll install cutting-edge technology to boost safety across the community and at school campuses. The goal is simple: protect kids and their families, support officers, and build stronger, more secure neighborhoods—all without any extra costs to local taxpayers.
URBANDALE, Iowa, Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sector Technology Group™ is proud to announce that we will design, engineer, install, and deploy SAFECity™ public safety technology platform for the Oskaloosa Police Department. This comes after Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks successfully secured $500,000 in federal funding for Oskaloosa's SAFECity Initiative in the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations package.
The grant, approved with the President's final signature Friday, will bring cutting-edge tools to Oskaloosa built and purposed to provide enhanced community and school safety —like upgraded body and in-car video cameras, school panic buttons connected directly to police, common operating picture software, integrated license plate recognition systems, and more. These upgrades help officers prevent crime, respond faster to emergencies, and keep schools and streets safer, all without extra costs to local families.
"The SAFECity Initiative represents a major step forward in how we protect and serve our community. These resources will strengthen school safety, improve our response to emergencies, and give officers better tools to prevent crime before it happens. We appreciate Congresswoman Miller-Meeks' leadership in securing this investment for Oskaloosa and for recognizing the importance of proactive, technology-driven policing" said Benjamin Boeke, Oskaloosa's Chief of Police.
Sector Technology Group's SAFECity integrated solution is the technological backbone making this possible. Our team has worked closely with communities across Iowa to deliver reliable, user-friendly technology solutions that integrate data and tools so police can focus on what matters most: protecting people. Over the next couple of months, we'll handle the full rollout in Oskaloosa, from setup to training, so the department can hit the ground running.
"This federal support shows Washington is listening to local needs," said Ryan Surber, CEO & Founder of Sector Technology Group. "We're honored to partner with the Oskaloosa Police Department and Congresswoman Miller-Meeks to turn this funding into real safety improvements. Safer communities mean stronger families and better places to live and grow—right here in Iowa. Our SAFECity system lets officers focus on what matters most: protecting lives and keeping families safe."
The timing feels extra special today. President Trump is set to speak just blocks away in Clive about the economy and energy—only four blocks from our Urbandale headquarters. As his plane lands at Des Moines International Airport, it's a reminder that federal wins like this one keep money flowing back home to support hardworking Iowans.
