MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH:
Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM:
David Ross, Police Chief
DATE:
April 2, 2024
SUBJECT:
Ordinance Accepting Grant Funds for Ballistic Vests
The Police Department participates in the United States Department of Justice' Ballistic Vest
Partnership (BVP), which provides grant funds for half the cost of officer ballistic vests. The City's
insurance carrier, AMLJIA, also has a grant program by which they cover half the cost of ballistic
vests purchased for officers.
The Police Department recently purchased one ballistic vest for an officer, at a cost of $1,304 and
anticipates that cost to be covered 100% by the two programs.
I am respectfully requesting consideration of the ordinance accepting and appropriating the grant
funds for the purpose they were intended.
