DeKalb committee approves statewide ammunition purchase for officer training
Summary
The DeKalb Employee Relations & Public Safety Committee approved a statewide contract purchase for firearms, ammunition and accessories to support mandatory officer qualification and training; vendors were listed in the agenda packet and staff said the procurement will supply annual qualification, remedial and advanced training needs. The committee approved the purchase by voice vote.
The DeKalb County Employee Relations & Public Safety Committee approved a purchase under a competitively let statewide contract for firearms, ammunition and related accessories to serve the county police department's training needs.
Staff explained the procurement draws from statewide contracts awarded to Golf States Distributors Inc., Dana Safety Supply, Inc., and Precision Precision Delta Corporation and is intended to supply ammunition for officers' mandatory annual qualifications and for remedial and advanced firearms training required by the Georgia Peace Officers and Standards Training Council. The agenda listed the procurement as covering all commission districts.
Committee members asked questions; staff described the purchase as necessary to sustain recurring qualification cycles and training programs. The record in the meeting packet and the public presentation showed that the item was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
The agenda item identified the vendors by name; the transcripted dollar amount for the item was garbled and was recorded in the packet only as a truncated figure. Staff indicated the purchase will be made from competitively let statewide contracts rather than a sole local vendor. The committee did not attach additional conditions when it approved the item.
The committee then moved on to time-sensitive policy items. The meeting minutes and staff procurement documents will provide the finalized contract amount and award language once purchase orders are executed.
