Police request to donate 45 retired ASP batons to Owens police academy noted by committee
Summary
A police representative told the safety committee the department has about 45 retired expendable ASP batons and holders and is seeking permission to donate them to the Owens police academy for cadet training; committee members raised no questions during the update.
A police representative told Perrysburg's safety committee the department has about 45 retired ASP expendable batons and the related holders that it wants to donate for training to the Owens police academy.
The presenter said the batons are expendable defensive tools carried by officers and that Owens (which runs a police academy) has agreed to accept the items for cadet training and self-defense instruction. "I'd like to have permission to donate those items to the Owens police academy," the presenter said. A committee member responded that they had no questions.
Why it matters: The donation would redirect surplus department equipment for training rather than placing the items into surplus sales or disposal. The presenter said the items are intended for training use only and that the department would not receive revenue from the donation.
Ending: The committee did not record a formal roll-call vote during the segment; no objections were raised during the verbal update and the meeting moved on to the next agenda item.
