During the check presentation, Congresswoman Napolitano addressed approximately 25 Aerospace and Engineering Students and spoke about her ongoing commitment and “support of programs that are helpful to student research.

$100,000 to replace and upgrade the Montebello Police Dept.’s Computer Aided Dispatch and Records Management System (CAD/RMS) to enable the department to handle the processing of digital images, upgrade crime analysis functions, enhance the ability to generate detailed reports and eliminate other shortcomings that deter the Police Department from serving the City.
