The U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Justice announced the 2007 Bulletproof Vest Partnership
grant program to assist in the purchase of 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 lifecycle and do not have the ballistic standards to meet the
current threat. The Sheriff s Office is by far the largest purchaser of safety vests among the County agencies and
applied last year on behalf of the County agencies with law enforcement powers. The prior application was
partially funded, and this year's application, if funded, will complement that award to provide support for
bulletproof vests for law enforcement personnel in the Sheriff's Office.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Bulletproof vests will be purchased with appropriated funds if this application is not approved.
