Armored vehicle donated to MPD in honor of Andrew Harris' memory

[Bertram]

The Missoula Police Department has a new armored transport vehicle thanks to the generosity of Grizzly Security.

Owner -- and former Griz and NFL standout -- Greg Harris says the vehicle is meant to protect the community, MPD officers, and his son Josh, who is currently on the force.

“My son Josh just made detective but he's still on the SWAT team. Of course, I want him safe and I want the other officers to be safe too,” Harris explained. “It's just a win situation for everyone.”

The donation is dedicated to Greg Harris’ youngest son Andrew who died by suicide earlier this year. Harris says he took this opportunity to dedicate something in honor of Andrew – and to watch over his older brother Josh.

Super Gesture! I hope the city of Missoula appreciates this! I hope there is no negative feedback as there was in Great falls when the GFPD received an MRAP vehicle for almost no cost.
I would like to see an artist is Missoula paint the young man in uniform on the sides of the truck!
