The U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Justice announced the 2014 Bulletproof Vest Partnership grant
program to assist in the purchase of life-saving bulletproof vests approved by the National Institute of Justice.
Bulletproof vests are replaced on a five-year cycle. The vests to be purchased with these grant funds will be used to
replace vests that have exceeded their life cycle. The Sheriff's Office is by far the largest purchaser of safety vests
among the County agencies. If this grant is awarded, the grant will provide support for the purchase of bulletproof
vests for law enforcement personnel in the Sheriff's Office as well as the Department of Probation which is a
sub-grantee on the grant application.
