Council authorized the surplus of three police Dodge Chargers and approved purchases for a 2027 Ford F‑150 responder and a 2027 Ford SUV interceptor, with funding from a Department of Justice 287(g)-related allocation, Sept. 15.
Staff explained the DOJ‑linked funds (described as an equipment-specific allocation) will cover vehicle purchases and appropriations totaling approximately $174,000. Officials said the F‑150 responder will carry child‑restraint equipment and educational materials for school resource officers, while the interceptor SUV will serve patrol functions. "Both of these officers are going to be... certified as specialists for child restraint systems," an official said, explaining the operational use. Council approved the surplus and purchases by voice votes.
Staff will complete procurement and disposition of surplus vehicles and record the appropriation of the DOJ funds in the police department budget.
