Our last remaining police dog "Vino" is approaching retirement at the end <br />of May. The Police Department would like to replace the dog and a previously retired police dog <br />"Rocko" with two new police Kgs. We plan on purchasing two police dogs, one for drugs and patrol <br />work and the second for explosives and patrol work. We would also need to purchase the required <br />equipment to be given to the newly selected handlers. We are asking to utilize $100,000.00 for this <br />purpose. <br />Additionally, the police department is promoting two police sergeants and is in the need to purchase <br />two ballistic shields for $6,000.00 and two breach kits for $2,800.00 which would ensure that all patrol <br />supervisors have this much needed equipment. This equipment would assist our officers in violent <br />confrontations to include active shooter situations. <br />Due to the increase in personnel in the Marine Patrol Unit, the police department is in need for a <br />ruggedized laptop computer for the vessel at a cost of $4,000.00. This laptop will be used exclusively <br />on the police boat by the newly acquired marine officer. <br />Due to the increased traffic enforcement, there is a need for officers to have tint meters.
