Acquisition of New Firearms for our Police Officers
It is recommended that the Village Council approve the Resolution to purchase new firearms for the
police department.
BACKGROUND
Our police officers are currently carrying Beretta semi -automatic pistols as their service.weapons.
The weapons are now approximately 11 years old. During the life ofthe weapons, there:have been
a number of problems associated with these weapons, such as ammo jamming 'and weapons not
fiting. Theweapons are no longer able to be repaired as Beretta .has discontinued manufacturing
this weapon and because of the problems associated with it, does not recommend its use for law
enforcement personnel.
After careful consideration and research, the police department has recommended the purchase of
35 Sig Sauer semi -automatic weapons. The total cost of these replacement weapons is $21,875.00.
The vendor has agreed to purchase surplus firearms from the Village for $2,600.00 for a total cost
of $19,275.00. These funds will be taken from the Federal Forfeiture fund.
