After our lest must i ng a I have scaled down t h o or i g i na 1
c"puter proposal (see attached) to address the Detective
Division only. I had Martin Jones go back and submit a proposal
to include the following;
13 Terminals $1075. @
3 P.C. Tei-minals (3 1/2" disk)
3 emulation packages (500. �>

S 4,500.
$ 1,500.
$ 3,800.
$ 2,000.
$ 240.
Total 25,975.
This propozal is approximately $14,Ouu. less that/ the
original, but doss meet the needs of the Investigationz 13iVision.
Martin advises that these prices are not steady and to guarantee
them an order should follow quickly.
At this time there is approximately $120;,000. in the asset
seizure account. If approval is granted for the computers and
weapons we Will still have sufficient funds should CCJP fund the
Gang Grant. If I would riot recommend any further expenditures
until some of our $30,000. in pending manses clear- administrative
process.

Subject: Issue Firearm & Related Safaty Equipment
PROBL.EMa
The Lodi Police Department currently issues a six shot
38 caliber revolver. The weapons issued are Smith & Wesson model
10's and 12'so frost of which are in excess of twenty years old.
Less than 5 out of 69 officers currently carry the issue weapon,
most opting #dor a semi-automatic pistol.
I SSLJ S:
The Following issues need to be considered when
exploring the possibility of purchase of a new issue weapon for
the Lodi Police Department;
1) Officer Safety: Is officer safety adequately addressed
with the current 30 revolver? The answer is no. The age
of the weapon, the weapon features (ie no night
sights), the rounds capacity and ease of reloading all
relate to officer safety. This does not prejudge the
revolver to be an inferior weapon, it merely recognizes
the definite advantages an auto -loader possesses.
2) Cost= Is the cost 'actor a barrier to purchasing a new
departmental issue weapon? No, although traditional
budgeting avenues are not available due to the
strained economic times. The option of utilizing Asset
Seizure funds is a viable alternative. The utilization
of Asset Seizure Punas would be a legitimate usage of
this restricted Cund and would directly benefit
officers involved in our efforts to combat illicit drug
usage.
w l Weapon Selection: Per vour instructions a c o r n m i r t c e was
formed to evaluate semi-aUtomarics ana make a
recommendation. That committee report is attacneo in
accenaum A.
4) Policy Considerations: I would recommend that it be the
policy of the Lodi Police Department to issue the
highest quality safety equipment possible and that
those officers issued ouch equipment be required to
carry that equipment. Consideration may be given to
those officers who have become accustomed to a personal
firearm or holster and may wish to maintain that
equipment under a "grandfather clause". In this event a
new departmental firearm would not be issued. Detailed
policy can be detiEtrmi,ned after approval.
5) Training Considerations: Although most o+ficers are
already conversant in the usage and nomenclature of
various auto -loaders, it is critical that orientation'
training accompany any issuance of a now departmental
weapon. I would anticipate, that as all officers are
eventually transitioned to auto -loaders, that training
costs and time will be reduced as various calibers and
makes will be reduced to one, thus making training more
manageable.
6) Morales Although the Lodi Police Department was the
first department in San Joaquin County to recognize the
benefits of the semi-automatic pistol and authorize
it's optional use, back in 1985. We are now one of the
last agencies in San Joaquin County to still provide Px
standard issue a 38 caliber revolver. Currently the
Sheriff's office issues the Sig Sauer Stam, Stockton PD
issues the Sig Sauer 9mm, Manteca PD issues the Clack
9mm, CHP issues the Smith & Wesson 40mm, and Tracy PD
is currently in the process of requesting semi-
automatic pistols through the budget process.
RECOMMENDATION=
After review of the comraittee report I wotild recommend
that the following elements of that report be adopted and the
necessary asset seizure funds be allocated to open the bid
process to purchase the following Sig Sauer 9mm Pistol;
1) 65 Sig P226 Pistols + ene extra magazine Total -$37,859.90
2) 4 Sig P225 Pistols for administration Total -$ 2,149.36
3) 20 Sig P226 Pistols far ReservesB New hires $11,649.20
4) 85 Safety holsters $ 61,035.00
5) 85 Magazine Pouches $ 1,700.00
6) 4 P225 holsters $ 188.00
Estimated Total $59.581.46
I have eliminated the extra weapons for Detectives and
Administrative Sergeant, as these are temporary assignments and
would add additional cost to the proposal which I cannot justify.
