BULLETPROOF VEST PARTNERSHIP (BVP) FUNDING
The United States Department of Justice continues to assist jurisdictions with the
purchase of body armor for full time sworn police officers. Shortly before the Federal
Government shutdown we received notification that we were again awarded funds
through this program.
Requirements for Fundinq
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.
Fundinq to Date
Since 2008 the Cottage Grove Police Department has applied and received funding for
%2 the cost of 36 qualifying vests totaling $ 20,631.83.
Current Application
This spring I applied for grant funding of $ 13,620.00 to assist in the purchase of twenty
four bulletproof vests; twenty one replacement vests and three vests for new hire. We
received notification that our application was successfully submitted and has received
BVP approval in the amount of $ 10,107.09.
Please present this request for approval of BVP funds to City Council for approval.
