Issue: Deputies are currently utilizing Bullet Proof Vest Body Armor that is 5 or more years old, and some Deputies currently do not have Bullet Proof Vest Body Armor. Bullet Proof Vest Body Armor is recommended to be exchanged every 5 years or less. Printers and other office equipment is old and faulty.
Solution:Transfer the monies to complete the purchase of 21 Body Armor vest, to be worn on a daily basis. Line item transfer will cover the replacement of old and faulty office equipment.
Result:The Deputy's probability of survival is increased from a 53% chance without any type of Body Armor to an 83% chance with Body Armor. (Data Source Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) database) Office equipment will be for daily use by all staff.
