Subject: BULLETPROOF VEST PARTNERSHIP (BVP) FUNDING
Memo
The United States Department of Justice has continued to assist jurisdictions with the
purchase of body armor for full time sworn police officers.
Requirements for Funding
Use of the Federal funds made available by this Act requires that all purchases be
made on only American -made equipment and products. The jurisdiction applying also
acknowledges that this grant funding is for Federal Preparedness assistance and
agrees that it has implemented and complies with the National Incident Management
System (NIMS) as required by Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5 (HSPD -5)
and has adopted these standards and guidelines.
Funding to Date
In 2008 the Police Department applied and received $ 9,285.00 for 15 officer vests
which qualified for replacement during 2008 — 2010. In 2010, the department again
applied and received grant funds for 2010 -2012 in the amount of $ 12,642.22 for 19
anticipated vest purchases.
Current Application
The current Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant funds being offered are for qualifying
officer vests purchased between April 1, 2012 and September 30, 2014. During this
grant period, current officers qualify for vest replacement (5+ years old).
I submitted an application for funding on June 27, 2012, requesting funds of
$ 5,400.00, the equivalent of half the cost of 8 vests. I have received notification that the
application was successfully submitted and has received BVP approval.
Please present this request for approval of BVP funds to City Council for approval.
