Expenditure Plan Narrative
Reolacement Truck for SWAT and Homeland Security Ooerations
The current SW AT van is a bread truck that was purchased in 1981 and converted by department
personnel to store and transport tactical equipment necessary for SWAT deployments. The
vehicle has exceeded its mechanical useful life and needs to be replaced. Additionally, over the
last two decades the size of the SW AT team has increased from nine to 25 members and the
scope of SWAT operations has necessitated the purchase of additional tactical equipment to
protect officer safety and the city's liability. These changes have outstripped the ability of the
current van to transport all members ofthe SWAT team and their gear to deployment locations.
The aftermath of the 9-11 terrorist attacks has shifted the responsibility of homeland security to
local government. Our SWAT team has been designated as the department's first responder to
known or suspected terrorist events and has received training in responding to CBRNE
(chemical, biological, radioactive, nuclear and explosive) events. The replacement SWAT
vehicle will be a Freightliner 38' cab/cargo container that will be able to store and transport both
traditional SWAT gear as well as CBRNE equipment.
$77,178 in Homeland Security Grant funds will be used to purchase the replacement vehicle.
The replacement truck will be converted and equipped for SWAT/CBRNE operations using
$125,000 in COPS 2005 Technology Grant funds.
Reolacement Motorola Portable Radios
The Police Department has 150 Motorola STX portable Handi-Talkie (HT) radios that have been
issued to police officers, reserve police officers and support personnel. Motorola STX radios
have been out of production since 1994 and Motorola no longer manufactures replacement parts
for them. 0 n t he average 3 -5 H T radios p er month become inoperable and a re taken out of
service due to the lack of replacement parts. This number is expected to increase as they
continue to age.
Field personnel depend on HT radios for field communications when they are away from their
vehicles. HT radios are essential to protect the safety of officers when encountering suspects and
wanted persons.
The cost of replacing 27 HT radios with new Motorola XTS 5000 radios, chargers and spare
batteries ($3,493.63 each) is estimated at $94,328.
