Former Howe Police Officer Tom Mrozinski, who is now on the force of the Frisco Police Department spoke to the Howe City Council on Tuesday in regards to a $15,000 valued donation of equipment he was able to help earmark for the Howe Police Department.
“Over the years, I’ve helped donate equipment to not only Howe but other agencies in Southern Grayson County such as armored vests, uniforms, and things our agency is able to get in surplus,” said Mrozinski to the council. “I’ve been going to our chief and recommending that we donate items set to be destroyed to be donated to smaller agencies that can use them.”
Frisco PD was able to get a grant for new 3D surveying equipment for investigating crime scenes. This meant that the previous equipment would no longer be needed. Mrozinski recommended the Howe PD for the donation. He initially made the agreement with then-Howe Police Chief Carl Hudman but the donation was made official at Tuesday’s council meeting.
The items are surveying equipment minus the software. The software would enable Howe to supply to the district attorney a much better presentation for a crime scene.
Three Frisco PD Officers have agreed to supply minor training to the Howe Officers for use of the equipment.
Mrozinski’s 25-year service as an officer began in Howe in 1993. He has also served as a city council member.
