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.

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.
