Title
Glock Model 22 .40 caliber 4th Generation pistol for Police Department - Purchase
History
In March 1998, the department purchased our current Glock pistol. They are now fifteen years old. Each weapon has been fired many thousands of times and much more by our former SWAT members.
The current pistols are showing signs of aging and malfunctions are increasing as the magazine springs and recoil springs weaken. Replacement magazines cost $35.00 alone.
The 4th generation Glock Model 22 pistols also offer numerous improvements for safety and operations. Some of the improvement include a modular back strap, rough textured frame, dual recoil spring assembly, enlarged reversible magazine catch, upgraded extractor, optional seventeen (17) round magazine and three (3) new magazines with the purchase of each weapon. We will be trading in our old pistols to reduce the purchase price to $107.00 per pistol with three magazines.
On February 18, 2013, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Safety Committee and referred to the Village Board for approval.
Financial Impact
There will be no impact on the operational budget of the police department. $7,900 will be used from the JAG grant (010-7002-460180 project code JAG) and the remainder of $4,298.00 will come from the State Asset Forfeiture fund 027-2800-460180.
