Police Department Armored Rescue Vehicle Discussion
end
Background
In early 2022 the City Council supported the police department in applying for a surplus armored vehicle using the Federal Government’s 1033 (Government Military Surplus) Program. The program has undergone some unforeseen changes. As a result of this, the status and delivery of the vehicle is still unknown. The changes that took place to the program have potential impacts to how this equipment may deployed by the department. Accordingly, the Police Department is not interested in pursuing the 1033 program option for an armored vehicle.
Police department staff will provide a PowerPoint presentation on the history and need for an armored vehicle. They will also explain an overview of vehicle and funding options for a commercially available armored rescue vehicle.
Financial Impact
Police department staff will provide an overview of different funding options that include various forfeiture fund balances on hand, as well as a potential 2023 capital expenditure request.
Strategic Plan Relationship

Staff Recommendation
