AGENDA DATE: August 6, 2024
BACKGROUND: This request is to purchase sound and flash reduction devices for our
patrol rifles. These devices. commonly known as sound suppressors, drastically reduce
the sound level when firing a rifle and significantly reduce potential damage to the
officer's hearing. Also, when we encounter scenes where there are flammable vapors in
the area, these devices will prevent the flame from exiting the barrel and prevent a
potential explosion, i.e., in a house producing methamphetamine or a broken gas line in
a home. The equipment will be purchased from Sunset Law Enforcement, which is the
sole distributor in the mid-west region of the OSS/HuxWrx company that manufactures
these devices.
This request is part of the 2024-2025 budget that was approved by the board.
BUDGETARY IMPACT: $11,398.80
