The board approved an intergovernmental 28E agreement with the City of Burlington to allocate up to $16,357 in JAG funds to purchase 17 level-3, rifle-rated shields and carriers for county and city law enforcement. County staff described the equipment as a replacement for collapsible shields currently stored in squad cars and said the new shields are intended to give officers more protection in high-threat situations.
A county presenter noted the split of five shields for county personnel and 12 for city personnel and thanked the Burlington Police Department for leading the application for the annual JAG grant. The motion passed following a second and roll-call approvals from the board.
