EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The FY23 Police Department budget includes $127,908.00 of ARPA funds allocated to replace the pistols currently issued to officers who have reached their end-of-life. The law enforcement industry is moving to the newer version of the pistols that can accommodate the red dot sight system. Trade-in of old pistols is included in the contract and reduces the total amount.
