BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Enacted in 1998 by the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant Act;
Public and reauthorized by the Bulletproof Act of 2000, the
Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) Program is a DOJ initiative
designed to provide critical resources to state, local, and tribal
jurisdictions for the sole purpose of purchasing bullet -resistant body
armor for sworn law enforcement officers. Administered by
the Office of Justice Programs' Bureau of Justice Assistance since 1999, BVP has awarded $430
million to more than 13,000 jurisdictions throughout the nation to assist them in purchasing more than 1.2
million bulletproof vests.
Through the BVP Program, states, units of local government, and tribal governments are reimbursed for
up to 50 percent of the cost of each unit of eligible body armor purchased for law enforcement officers.
Under current legislation, jurisdictions with fewer than 100,000 residents receive priority funding, up to 50
percent of the amount they request. Any remaining funds are distributed on a pro rata basis to
jurisdictions with more than 100,000 residents. In order to qualify for this reimbursement, body armor
must comply with the most current National Institute of Justice body armor standards, as of the date the
body armor was ordered.
The Police Department requested funding for the purchase of 40 bulletproof vests. The request will fulfill
the need for scheduled replacement vests for existing employees, and equipment needed for new hires
and volunteers.
The Police Department has not yet received notification of the BVP grant award decision. If the grant is
awarded to the Lodi Police Department we are requesting that the purchase be authorized and the
funding be appropriated accordingly.
APPROVED:
to a Schwabauuerr, City Manager
Adopt Resolution ratifying the Police Department's execution of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Bulletproof Vest
Partnership Grant Application; authorize the City Manager to execute funding agreement for purchase of 18 ballistic armor vests,
