BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Lodi Police Department has been looking into updating the department's uniform policy to provide it's officers with weight bearing vest carriers to alleviate equipment pressure around the waist due to "duty belts". Police duty belts, and the weight and shape of the equipment carried on them, not only cause discomfort and fatigue to the officers wearing them, but over the years of the officer's career are believed to cause chronic physical problems for some officers, including, it is believed, serious back, leg, and hip ailments. A police officer's duty belt supports from 20 to as much as 30 pounds or more of equipment, typically including a semi-automatic pistol, a magazine pouch, handcuffs, radio, baton, flashlight, pepper spray, rubber glove case, Taser, spare Taser cartridges, cell phone, duty knife, citation book, keys, and other items. Using weight bearing bulletproof vest carriers seems simple on the surface. However, due to the professional conduct of the Lodi Police Department officers must present a traditional and sharp appearance in uniform. Weight bearing vests can look tactical which can cause the public to view police officers as militaristic instead of community servants. The uniform committee has researched weight bearing carriers for over a year. The committee has examined a handful of vest carriers and assigned two officers to trial the Safariland 6700 vest carrier option. The committee's goal was to assess if the vest carrier was convenient and comfortable for officers, if there would be any negative feedback during community interactions, and to find a style that does not jeopardize the department's requirement of a professional appearance. After months of wearing the trial weight bearing vest carriers the officers prefer them to their duty belts. The carriers not only distributed weight off their hips, but with the bulletproof panels inserted in the carrier, and a lighter weight shirt worn underneath, they even stayed cooler during the summer months. The officers also noticed no difference in the public's reaction. The Safariland 6700 will fit with our current bulletproof panels. Safariland brand was chosen as a preferred brand due to exceptional quality, ongoing fit into reusable carriers, and qualification for the National Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant reimbursement. Bulletproof vest panels expire after 3 years and have to be replaced, currently 40 of our officers have received new panels in the last two years. The r APPROVED Ste nager Adopt Resolution Authorizing Purchase of Bulletproof Vest Carriers and Attachments from Adamson Police Products, of Los Livermore, CA ($40,885.20) December 18,2019 Page 2 remaining 30 officers will get new bulletproof panels with their new carr¡ers. When we buy carr¡ers with bulletproof panels both pieces are eligible for 50 percent reimbursement through the Bulletproof Vest Partnership grant. The department plans on replacing we¡ght bearing vest carriers going fonryard when officers' bulletproof panels expire. LPD received three quotes for the Safariland 6700 vest carriers and panels. The three vendors are authorized vendors of the Safariland brand and we have worked with them in the past on various equipment purchases. We are choosing Adamson Police Products who is the lowest price option.

QUOTATION 1 Jennelle Baker-Bechthold From:Andre Belaski Sent:Thursday, November 21, 2019 3:39 PM To:Jennelle Baker-Bechthold Subject:Fwd: Body Armor and Carriers Sent from my iPhone Belaski 48 Begin forwarded message: From: Code 3 Wear Public Safety Outfitters Date: November 21, 2019 at 14:40:02 PST To: Andre Belaski Subject: Re: Body Armor and Carriers Andre, Just got some pricing back from Safariland.... The prices on the: Summit 3A : $720 SX02 3A : $760 The external carrier front or side opening is same so they would not give me better pricing on those, but if you did one of the above ballistic packages with us we could do the carriers at $150. Of the two ballistics above I would recommend the SX02 --- what you get for the $. We had been selling this ballistics to stockton and various agencies in the area. Then you would just have to let me know if you want the soft truma plate or the hard XCAL Plate. Either way if you can give me an idea how far off this is in price I would appreciate it, On Wed, Nov 20, 2019 at 4:26 PM Andre Belaski <abelaski@lodi.gov> wrote: Thanks Dan, I appreciate your help on this.

My hands are tied because of the DOR, but I do not know how they priced to you with DOR. Ballistics: XT03 - $747.50 External Carrier: DN6701 (this is what they were quoting on w/front opening) $165.50 I am working on getting DOR pricing on better ballistic packages.... The SX3A and the SUMMIT 3A with and external carrier DN6700 (same as above but with side opening instead of front opening) It will take a few days to get approvals from Safariland but as soon as I do I will let you know.
