<br /> <br />Police Department <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Chief Jeff Beahen <br /> <br />FROM: Sergeant Ron Nierenhausen <br /> <br />DATE: 09-08-05 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Clandestine Lab Equipment <br /> <br />Per our discussions concerning updated equipment for the handling and dismantling of <br />clandestine labs, I have compiled projected figures for acquisition. The purchase of these <br />items would aid our department in more safely handling future clandestine lab issues we may <br />face. In addition I have added items that would better serve our SWAT team when dealing <br />with suspected methamphetamine labs and the potential hazards they create. <br /> <br />The SCBA equipment enables our 2 clan lab trained officers to operate in a lab environment <br />for the purpose of evidence collection and lab dismantling. <br /> <br />The SWAT equipment figures represent basic equipment to outfit up to 12 SWAT officers, <br />enabling them to enter and secure a lab sight. <br /> <br />Other necessary equipment such as APR respirators, Tychem suits (white chemical suit), <br />rubber gloves and chemical boots are already in either police or fire department inventories. <br /> <br />Clandestine Lab removal equipment: <br /> <br />SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) <br />-Air pack <br />-30 minute carbon fiber tank <br />- face piece <br />-spare tank <br /> <br />$2,700.00 x 2 = $5,400.00 <br /> <br />Carbon/N omex hood <br /> <br />$31.95 x 2 = $63.90 <br /> <br />Total: $5,463.90 <br /> <br />SWAT Equipment for Clandestine Lab raids: <br />
