Norfolk Southern Railway recently awarded a $100,000 grant to the Chicago Police Foundation to help law enforcement combat crime in the city.
Awarded through the Class I's Safety First Grant Program, the grant was given in support of the foundation’s mission to provide resources that supplement the Chicago Police Department’s capabilities, ensuring officers have the tools and technology needed to serve Chicagoans, according to an NS press release.
The investment builds on NS's long-standing collaboration with local law enforcement to enhance safety across the railroad's 22-state network, NS officials said.
"We recognize the dedication of Chicago’s officers and are honored to help deliver resources that make a real impact — from advanced drone technology to vehicles that strengthen mobility and response,” said Eric Oliver, regional superintendent of the Norfolk Southern Police Department.
