Information

Subject

Request for City Commission Approval to Declare as Surplus Police Department Weapons and Related Equipment.

Background

The Police Department requests approval to declare as surplus 83 department owned Smith and Wesson M & P .45 caliber handguns, 81 holsters and 51 magazine pouches as part of a trade in to upgrade all department weapons. PD recently entered into an agreement with Buds Police Supply (the Smith and Wesson dealer for TN) to trade the existing .45 caliber duty handguns for 80 new M & P 9 MM duty handguns with night sights and magazines. Buds agreed to make this trade at a net cost of $70 for each new weapon after trade in.The total cost of the new weapons after the trade in and with additional magazines was $6,740.

The Police Department believes that the Smith and Wesson M & P 9 MM duty handguns are a better duty weapon for our officers than the .45. The 9 MM offers a slightly smaller frame, less recoil, improved accuracy and higher round capacity. This trade additionally allowed the police department to provide new handguns and holsters for all PD staff at a reduced cost to the city.

Staff recommends approval of the surplus of weapons and related equipment. An inventory list of the surplus weapons and copy of the original invoice with Buds Police Supply is attached.

Please contact the Police Chief if you have questions.

This agenda item only designates certain items as surplus to facilitate the trade-in. The net cost of the purchase of new weapons is less than $10,000 so it does not require formal approval of the Board of Commissioners.
