Winfield’s police department presented a plan to replace several department handguns during the Jan. 14 council meeting.
Officials said the department’s current firearms are six to seven years old and have recurring issues. A representative from Markl Supply offered a trade/buyback program with pricing for eight Glock 17 pistols at $1,472 each, and council members were told money for the purchase is available in the budget.
Council members received the presentation and discussed the recommendation; the minutes record the purchase was presented to council but do not show a formal roll-call vote or final procurement authorization during the meeting.
The council did not specify a procurement timeline at the meeting; staff or the department will return with purchase details or formal authorization if required by procurement rules.
