FILE NUMBER
Award a contract to Proforce Law Enforcement for the purchase of Glock
firearms, X26 tasers, and accessories for a two-year period with provision
for three one-year renewals in the annual amount not to exceed $85,000.
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department currently utilizes Glock-manufactured
firearms as standard issue side arms. The Glock firearms allow for
standardization in training and ammunition magazine interchangeability
between officers. Additionally, the police department purchases X26 tasers
and trier cartridges for use by officers. ProForce Law Enforcement is the
sole source distributor of X26 tasers and Glock firearms in California. As
a result, staff recommends Council approval of the recommended action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Police Property and Facilities account (no. 11-
343-6391) .
