TITLE: Approve the Application and Acceptance of the 2020 Bulletproof Vest Grant for Replacement Body Armor for Police Officers in the amount of $10,218 if Awarded.
Recommended Action
Approve the application and acceptance of the 2020 Bulletproof Vest Grant for replacement Body Armor for Police Officers in the amount of $10,218 if awarded.
Background Information
The United States Department of Justice (USDOJ) offers a grant annually for replacement body armor for Police Officers. Funding decisions and notifications are made by email no later than September 30, 2020. The program requires a 50% match of the cost of the body armor, which is currently $786 each.
Body armor expires five (5) years after the manufacture date. The USDOJ has requested a count of vests expected to be replaced during the next two years. This count includes replacement vests that have met the five (5) years, vests required due to employee turnover, and anticipated new positions. The request is for thirty-one (31) vests with a total estimated cost of $20,436. If the grant is awarded fully, the USDOJ award would be $10,218.
Although there is no guarantee, the North Port Police Department has received this grant for over fifteen (15) years and is normally awarded the full amount requested. The USDOJ can make an award in a lower amount.
Strategic Plan
Maintain the adopted level of health and public safety services.
Financial Impact
If awarded, the grant amount will be $10,218 over a two (2) year period and has partially been placed in the 2020/2021 budget as a revenue to the General Fund with a corresponding expenditure. The remainder of the revenue would go into the 2021/2022 budget.
