CONSENT - Brian Podany/Police Chief-
Title
CAPITAL PURCHASE - LASER SHOT SIMULATOR
Background
In the adoption of the 2019 Capital Budget, Council appropriated the funding for certain pieces of equipment in the Capital Equipment Plan. Pursuant to the City Charter, Sec. 6.05, staff is now requesting City Council approval for the actual purchase of the Laser Shot Simulator. Per POST requirements we must annually do a "shoot don't shoot" training. We have had to borrow portable units from other agencies or schedule/rent time at the Sheriff's Office. These options do not fit well into our annual training and the availability is often not there consuming our instructor’s time at different periods as opposed to coordinate with other training we have scheduled. The high quality of training and size of our department should have our own unit which would always be available for annual training, new recruits and refresher training.
Capital Item Budget
Laser Shot Simulator $26,000
Recommendation
By motion, approve expenditure of up to $26,000 from Laser Shot.
