Shrewsbury Police Awarded $35K Road Safety Grant

SHREWSBURY, MA — Shrewsbury was granted funding to help encourage safety on its roads.

The Shrewsbury Police Department has been awarded $35,036.26 from the Municipal Road Safety Grant Program, State. Rep Hannah Kane (R-11th Worcester) announced on Friday. The program from the Executive Office of Public Safety & Security provides funding to municipal police departments for traffic safety enforcement, equipment and traffic safety programs.

The award is part of the federal fiscal year 2027 grant cycle, which runs from November 2026 through September 2027. The program is administered by the state Office of Grants and Research using National Highway Traffic Safety Administration funding.

Among many other departments, the neighboring Westborough Police Department was also granted more than $20,000 in funding, according to Rep. Kane.

“This program helps local police departments improve traffic safety, keeping residents safe and reducing the risk of accidents,” Rep. Kane wrote in the announcement. “Thank you to our selfless public safety professionals in Shrewsbury and Westborough!”

Last year, the Shrewsbury Police Department was awarded $38,000 from the program. And in June, Shrewsbury police used that funding to participate in the state’s speed enforcement campaign for the month. Police said the effort is aimed at preventing crashes and protecting drivers, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists.
