-(,./ -k~ To: <br /> <br />El <br /> iver Date: <br /> Police Department Subject: <br /> <br />Memorandum <br /> <br />Chief Zerwas, Mayor, City Council <br /> <br />Sergeant Brad Rolfe <br /> <br />04/29/96 <br /> <br />MP5 PURCHASE <br /> <br />In January, 1993, the City Council approved the department purchase <br />of three (3) Heckler & Koch MP5 firearms (a fourth MP5 had been <br />previously purchased) for use in patrol vehicles and by the <br />Emergency Response Unit. These firearms were purchased with drug <br />forfeiture funds. <br /> <br />In the three years since the MP5's were purchased, department wide <br />training has been completed and four (4) of the department's eleven <br />(11) patrol and investigative vehicles are equipped with MP5's. <br />Officer response has been very positive; in fact so positive, that <br />officers who's squads are not currently equipped with MP5's have <br />requested that they be so equipped. <br /> <br />I am requesting authorization to purchase four (4) additional <br />MP5's, with accessories, for use in selected department vehicles. <br />As before, these firearms will be purchased with existing drug <br />forfeiture funds. <br /> <br />I feel that this purchase is a reasonable and logical next step to <br />adequately equip our officers and enhance officer and public <br />safety. <br /> <br />BRR/kma <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
