I got the following reply from Chief Ken Swindle about a news report that his department donated $1,000 to the All for One Tuscaloosa "gun buyback":
So the "report" from the "authorized journalist" was factually in error. Funny how he couldn't be bothered to dig any deeper into his own story.
We agreed to help pay for weapons if they bought more than the $500.00 that they had to purchase guns. They only bought nine so we did not give them any money. There was no money given so that answers you next two questions.
The money that I had offered to use was donated to the Department to be use in a safe neighborhood project. It was not affiliated with any Federal program.
