Explanation

Need: The City of Columbus, Department of Public Safety, Division of Police requested to trade with licensed weapon dealers, confiscated (275) firearms, for Smith & Wesson M&P Compact 40 with magazine disconnect, night sights and three magazines and standard trigger and no internal lock. Firearms to be auctioned as a trade-in credit towards the purchase of Smith & Wesson M&P Compact 40 with magazine disconnect, night sights and three magazines and standard trigger and no internal lock leave a net balance due of  $1.00 by the City of Columbus.  This trade will result in savings for the General Fund because the new firearms will stock the Division of Police with firearms for replacement and/or issue to undercover police detectives as needed.
