FILE NUMBER
Adopt a resolution authorizing the Police Department to participate in
Brotherhood of the Badge International to donate surplus or expired, but
serviceable, police equipment to the newly established government of Iraq
and Afghanistan.
DISCUSSION
The United States Military Police is responsible for training police
officers in the newly established governments of Iraq and Afghanistan. The
mission of Brotherhood of the Badge International is to collect surplus
police equipment from around the country and deliver it to US military
authorities in Iraq and Afghanistan. They then provide this vital personal
protection equipment to the civilian police personnel. Brotherhood of the
Badge International has a singular goal of assisting peace officers
worldwide with equipment and the necessary tools required to establish
stability.
The City of Santa Ana possesses holsters, ammo pouches, handcuff cases,
mace holders, magazine pouches, radio holders, drop down holsters, duty
jackets, tactical vests, ballistic vests, and helmets which are no longer
used by the Police Department because they are surplus or expired. This
equipment cannot be sold as surplus and is the type of surplus property
that would be subject to destruction by the City. Thus, staff recommends
donating the surplus or expired equipment to Brotherhood of the Badge
International.
FISCAL IMPACT
T~hJere is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
