March 31, 2010 - Law enforcement and other public safety agencies can obtain vehicle, weapons, computer equipment and countless other items through the Federal Excess Property Program.
Through the U.S. Department of Defense, the 1033 Program provides equipment no longer needed (excess property) to state, local and federal law enforcement at little or no cost.
The 1033 system has become more computerized and automated to help speed transfer of equipment. In addition to vehicles, weapons and computers, property transferred has included an armored personnel carrier, fingerprint equipment and tents. Specialists who are knowledgeable in specific areas of the program, such as weapons and aircraft, are available to help agencies locate equipment.
Charlie Brune, law enforcement program manager for the program, will prepare a newsletter for the JUSTNET Web site each month that will address current hot topics, changes and items of interest in the 1033 program. The April edition is available at: www.justnet.org/Pages/FEPP_Monthly_Newsletter_April_2010.aspx
