Parker County approves application for DOJ bulletproof vest grant to buy 20 vests
Summary
Court authorized an application to the U.S. DOJ Bulletproof Vest Partnership for 20 vests (estimated $17,000 benefit), to support the county's DWI enforcement and law-enforcement operations.
Parker County Commissioners Court approved submitting an application to the U.S. Department of Justice Bulletproof Vest Partnership to request 20 vests for county law enforcement.
Staff said the request would come from the county’s contract services allocation and estimated the award would yield roughly $17,000 (0.5 of that line item referenced in the transcript). “This is a part of our DWI enforcement program,” the district attorney said, noting judges and law enforcement had used the program for search-warrant execution earlier in the year. Commissioners approved filing the application by unanimous vote.
The county indicated the vests and any associated draws on county contract services funds would benefit the district attorney’s office, county attorney’s office and law-enforcement partners.
