BACKGROUND
Background
The Sheriff's Office is requesting the purchase of new duty weapons, holsters and magzines holders to replace our current duty weapons. We have had our current duty weapons since 2009 they are Smith and Wesson M&P 45 calibar. The Sheriff's Office routinely replaces the duty weapons every 8 to 10 years. This is needed from the Officer Saftely aspect, as well as, the citizins we serve. Normally over the course of 8 to 10 years the nights sights start needing replacing, as well as, some other parts within the weapon such as springs and the normal wear and tear of shooting the weapon during anual qualification and other training. The Sheriff Office is moving to the Glock platform, specifically the Glock model 17 and model 19. We are purchasing (410) Glock 17/19 at $409.00 each and (40) Glock model 19 with MOS sight platform at $481.00 each and (75) model 17 additional magzines at $18.99 each and (25) addition model 19 magzines at $18.99 each. The total expendure would be $188,829.00. Glock will allow a trade in value of $315.00 for each Smith & Wesson handgun traded in to make the cost of the purchase $55,899.00
With the change in weapons also is a change in hoslsters and magazine holders we are requesting approval to purchase the Safariland model 6360 ALS Mid-Ride Level III retention holster at $92.00 each and the Safariland model 79 Slimline Open Top magazine pouch at $14.25 each, making the total purchase price of $47,812.50.
