DISCUSSION
The United States Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs has awarded the Santa
Ana Police Department a 2018 Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) Program grant. The
Bulletproof Vest Partnership was created by the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant Act of 1998.
The BVP program reimburses counties, federally recognized tribes, cities, and local jurisdictions
up to 50% of the cost of body armor vests purchased for police officers. Since 1999, the BVP
program has provided federal funds to more than 13,000 jurisdictions for the purchase of over
one million bulletproof vests. The BVP grant will facilitate the Santa Ana Police Department's
ability to purchase armor vests for police officers by providing the City with a fifty percent
reimbursement for each vest purchased. The performance period of the grant is April 1, 2018
through August 31, 2020. During FY 2018-19, the Police Department anticipates purchasing
approximately 60 vests, at an estimated cost of $1,000 per vest, for a total cost of $60,000. Of
this amount, the City will be reimbursed $30,000. During FY 2019-20, the grant will reimburse the
City for half of the purchase cost of 20 vests, or approximately $10,000.
