Officers Brian Weldon and Ritchie Hesse recently attended training in explosive and hazardous devices training in Huntsville, Alabama. In order to maintain the officers' certification with the National Bomb Data Center, provide necessary tools and equipment, the Police Department is required to provide ongoing training and certain equipment in order for the officers to provide bomb detection and disposal to the community. One of the requirements is for the Police Department to provide safety equipment, which includes bomb suit, x-ray equipment, disrupter, demolition kit and quality hand tools. The Police Department has all of the above equipment except for the bomb suit. The FBI and several Iowa cities, including Cedar Rapids, presently utilize a system supplied by Med-Eng Systems, Inc., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The cost for the system is $17,440.00. The Black Hawk County Sheriff has agreed to pay for one-third of the cost of the system as they have one bomb technician, which will reduce the cost for the city to $11,684.20. The Police Chief is recommending that forfeiture funds be used to purchase the explosive protection system. Moved by Getty, seconded by Krizek that said request to purchase an explosive protection system at a cost of $17,440.00, with the city's cost of $11,684.80 be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried.
