DETROIT - U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says Michigan will get a $4-million grant to improve security along the Canadian border with better communications systems.
The grant to the Detroit-based project is part of a $25.5-million package of border security funding measures announced Monday.
Napolitano says the programs are designed to improve emergency response capabilities along the U.S.-Canada and U.S.-Mexico borders.
The Michigan project covers points of entry from Detroit and Port Huron in the south to Sault Ste. Marie in the north.
Partners in the project include several Michigan counties, the City of Detroit and several Canadian jurisdictions.
