Commission declares ballistic vests surplus and transfers them to Mitchell Police Department for in-kind assistance
Summary
The commission declared 11 level-3 ballistic vests and 11 ballistic helmets surplus and approved transfer to Mitchell Police Department in exchange for in-kind assistance, including K-9 support for school searches.
The Huron City Commission declared 11 level-3 ballistic vests and 11 ballistic helmets with accessories surplus and approved transferring the equipment to the Mitchell Police Department in exchange for in-kind services.
Chief of Police Derek Lehi told the commission the equipment had been used previously by the city’s special response team and was purchased with "Homeland Security grama funding." He said the Mitchell Police Department still has use for the equipment and agreed to provide assistance, including K-9 support for school searches, when needed.
Commissioners voted to approve the surplus declaration and transfer. The chief said the transfer helps the city obtain assistance from neighboring agencies at times when local K-9 resources are limited.
