CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 16, 2014
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Greg Tabor, Chief of Police
DATE: August 27, 2014
SUBJECT: 2014 Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant Program Award
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of a grant award from the 2014 Bulletproof Vest Partnership
Grant Program and budget adjustment in the total amount of $40,209 for the purchase of body
armor vests for our police officers and tactical vests for our Emergency Response Team (ERT)
officers.
BACKGROUND:
The Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP), created by the Bulletproof Vest Partnership
Grant Act of 1998, is a unique U.S. Department of Justice initiative designed to provide a critical
resource to state and local law enforcement. Since 1998, the Fayetteville Police Department
has obtained grant funding in excess of $120,000 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. This
ensures all officers have our required level of protection.
DISCUSSION:
In 2015, the Police Department will replace 74 body armor vests for our police officers
and 12 tactical body armor vests for our ERT officers due to the vests reaching their guaranteed
end of life. We also project the purchase of 7 new body armor vests to be on an as needed
basis for replacement due to wear/tear and new police officers. The total cost of these body
armor vest purchases is estimated to be $92,000 pending formal bid completion. The BVP
grant funding will provide reimbursement of 50% of the City's expenses, up to the allowed grant
maximum of $40,209, for the purchase of body armor vests for our police and ERT officers. In
addition to the BVP grant award, the Police Department has budgeted $52,000 in fiscal year
2015 of the Capital Improvements Program for the purchase of body armor vests.

BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
Approval of the attached budget adjustment will increase both revenues and expenses
equally to recognize the BVP grant award. There is no staffing impact related to this grant
application.

This project provides the 50% local match and any shortfall from federal funding for the purchase of
bulletproof vests for new officers, the replacement of expired bulletproof vests, and new/replacement
tactical bulletproof vests for members of the Emergency Response Team (ERT). Federal, State, and Local
mandates exist for all officers to wear bulletproof vests when engaging in law enforcement activities. This
project further funds ballistic protection equipment for the ERT including ballistic shields, plates, and blanket.
The level III shield is designed to stop small arms ammunition, and is lighter and more mobile. The level IV
shield is heavier and rated to stop larger ammunition fired from rifles. The ERT members also have level IV
ballistic plates carried within their ballistic vests. The ballistic blanket can be quickly deployed for high risk
situations including the protection of officers and civilians as a personal shield or in vehicle transport.
Scheduled Implementation: Active Project
The annual funding schedule is based on the expiration dates of existing bulletproof vests and a projection of
new officers being placed into service for the Department. The level III ballistic shield will need to be
replaced in 2016 and the level IV ballistic shield will need to be replaced in 2018. The ERT ballistic plates are
scheduled for replacement in 2018 and the ballistic blanket is scheduled for replacement in 2019.
Effect on Operations:
The purchase of bulletproof vests and ballistic protection will have no adverse effect on operational funding.
