Matching funds in the amount of $6,070 are budgeted within Police Bulletproof Vest (project #13011-1) of the Capital Improvements Program. BACKGROUND: The 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 $166,000 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: The total cost to replace 19 body armor vests is $12,140. This grant funding by BVP will provide reimbursement of 50% (or $6,070) of the City's expenses for the replacement of body armor vests for our police officers. The Police Department has planned for this grant matching requirement as evidenced by budgeted funds in the Capital Improvements Program's Police Bulletproof Vests (#13011-1) project. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: The City must match 50% (or $6,070) of the total projected cost of $12,140. Currently, matching funds are budgeted in the Capital Improvements Program's Police Bulletproof Vests (#13011-1) project. There is no staffing impact related to this grant award.

These funds have been posted to your account in the BVP System. A complete list of FY 2017 BVP awards is available at: I_tltlj:liwk_vw,r)lt,t ile cira�rtoyil_svt�a�;srri. The FY 2017 award may be used for National Institute of Justice (NIJ) compliant armored vests which were ordered after April 1, 2017. The deadline to request payments from the FY 2017 award is August 31, 2019, or until all available funds have been requested. Awards will not be extended past that date, and any unused funds will be forfeited. Please see the following websites for a list of NIJ compliant vests: Ballistic Vests: Itk�:Ilnii.ctovirniftooicsltechnolociv/body-armorlcompliant-ballistic-armor.htrn Stab Resistant Vests: hltp:linii.goy/viii/to iucs/technology/body-armortcompliant_stat)-armor.htm As a reminder, all jurisdictions that applied for FY 2017 BVP funding certified that a mandatory wear policy was in place for their jurisdiction. BJA will be conducting reviews of the mandatory wear policies as funds are requested from the BVP System. For more information on the BVP mandatory wear policy, please see the BVP Frequently Asked Questions document: AO.,;B r aril, lrlrearPoliicy,I)dl Additionally, uniquely fitted armor is a new requirement in 2017. In the BVP Program, "uniquely fitted vests" means protective (ballistic or stab -resistant) armor vests that conform to the individual wearer to provide the best possible fit and coverage, through a combination of: 1) correctly -sized panels and carrier, determined through appropriate measurement, and 2) properly adjusted straps, harnesses, fasteners, flaps, or other adjustable features. The requirement that body armor be "uniquely fitted" does not necessarily require body armor that is individually manufactured based on the measurements of an individual wearer. In support of the Office of Justice Programs' efforts to improve officer safety, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International has made available the Standard Practice for Body Armor Wearer Measurement and Fitting of Armor (Ai,ltve, Sianrk rd AS'l M E3003) available at no cost. The !'i iiwl Armor I it nssessi►ront c7ttt.".i ni, is excerpted from ASTM E3003.
