The Division of Police requests a purchase of 40-caliber, 45-caliber, 12 gauge, and 308 Winchester ammunition for training, for the qualification of police officers and for practice.

All of this ammunition can be ordered from the city’s universal term contract and amounts to several hundred thousand rounds of ammunition. The Division of Police has spent or encumbered $98,465.00 through the general funds.
