Liberty County OKs countywide duty‑weapon purchase; second weapons item tabled
Summary
Commissioners approved the countywide purchase of standardized duty weapons and holsters under cooperative contract, while an additional weapons procurement item was tabled for corrected quotes and backup documentation.
Liberty County commissioners approved a purchase of duty weapons and holsters for county law‑enforcement agencies using a cooperative contract. Staff said the purchase — using a SmartBuy contract — totaled $152,093.66 and will supply a single standard duty sidearm for most officers; officers may opt out by signing a form to carry an approved alternate weapon.
Staff told the court the initial procurement package was produced with the auditor’s office and that the purchase includes duty holsters. The court approved the purchase by voice vote.
Separately, an agenda item for additional weapons purchases from ProForce (and alternate quotes) was tabled after staff said a corrected quote and supporting backup were needed; the court voted to table the item and asked staff to return the item with accurate quotes and paperwork at a future meeting.
