Body
Whereas, Adoption of File 990461 by the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee granted the Police Department authority to apply for participation in the U.S. Department of Justice Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant; and
Whereas, The US Department of Justice has, under the auspices of Public Law 105-181, the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Act, established the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Program, which reimburses 50% of the cost of each bulletproof vest purchased by eligible law enforcement jurisdictions; and
Whereas, The City of Milwaukee appears to meet the eligibility criteria established for this program in Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance #16.607; and
