Since 1998, the Fayetteville Police Department has obtained grant funding in excess of $105,000 for the purchase of body armor vests through this partnership. The BVP program provides an important component to the continuing health and welfare of our Police Officers. Each body armor vest has a guaranteed life of five years. All state-of-the-art body armor is custom made to the exact specifications of the wearer to ensure all officers have our required level of protection and can take up to ten weeks for delivery. This grant funding by BVP will provide reimbursement of 50% (or $4,550) of the City's expenses for the replacement of fifteen (15) body armor vests for our police officers. All Fayetteville Police Officers have state-of-the-art body armor provided to them through grant and City funding. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of a 50% matching grant application by the 2011 Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) Program in the amount of $4,550 for the replacement of fifteen (15) body armor vests for our police officers BUDGET IMPACT: The City must match 50% (or $4,550) of the total project cost of $9,100. Currently, matching funds are budgeted in the Specialized Police Equipment project to meet this matching requirement.
