Penman, City Attorney BY: EXHIBIT A San Bernardino Police Department FY 2005 Homeland Security Grant 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.

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.
