JAG: Law Enforcement Equipment

The City of Hampton will use JAG funds for procurement of Surface Supply Systems and accessories for our Dive Team to provide improved bottomtime and life support for police divers in rescue and recovery operations. Also, for Dive Operations, we will purchase two Stage Bottle Rigging Kits for use as emergency air supplies or to inflate lift bags. Additionally for the Dive Team, we will be seeking five Weight and Trim Systems and five rail mount systems for face masks for support/mounting of  accessories, such as a light.  Grant funds will be utilized to procure a 8 person Zodiak Boat for rescue operations in marine spaces where convention boats cannot go.  Funds will be utilized to purchase a submersible metal detector for underwater evidence identification and recovery. We will also be seeking to purchase a high performance computer system for analytics of bulk cellular phone data that is recovered pursuant to search warrants and a desktop computer for a soon to be hired Grant Administrator.  We also are seeking to purchase a server to handle the ever expanding amount to digital records and evidence that must be stored long term.

These purchases serve to increase organizational capacity and provide needed resources for the efficient police operation, which have not been funded locally, due to budget contraints.
