BACKGROUND:
Each year the Police Department applied to the Department of Justice for the Bulletproof Vest grant based on the Department's needs. The award may be granted for a fifty (50) percent match for each vest purchased. For the vest to qualify for the match, it must meet the National Institute of Justice guidelines. There are two years with which to expend the funds.
In FY 2024, the Police Department's award was for approximately twenty vests.
The vest replacement cycle is every five (5) years. In FY2024, the vest cost was $1,255 per vest and they are anticipating a five percent (5%) price increase. Therefore, the most recent request for twenty vests was $26,525, or $1,326.25 per vest.
