Resolution - Police: Consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to establish a program to transfer ownership of service duty weapons to retired Lubbock Police Department officers.
Item Summary
In order to better serve the public, the Lubbock Police Department requests authorization to transfer ownership of a police officer's service weapon to him/her upon the officer's retirement, at no cost to the officer. This transfer will enable the City to retain the benefit of the retiree's professional abilities, and will ensure that the retired police officers are well-equipped with a law enforcement-grade weapon with which they are familiar and well-trained.
Fiscal Impact
The cost to the City is $599.96 per LPD Sworn Retiree, and is funded in LPD's Operating Budget.
