STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
The use of grant funds for the purchase of night vision goggles, holographic sights, gun-mounted lasers, and ballistic helmets furthers the City Council’s strategic outcomes of Safe and Prosperous supporting both the safety of law enforcement officers, and the safety of the community.
REPORT:
The State of Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (DEMA) awarded the City of Yuma Police Department (YPD) a grant which will be utilized for the purchase of night vision goggles, holographic sights, gun-mounted lasers and ballistic helmets. These items will be issued to YPD’s sworn personnel. This purchase will allow YPD’s officers to respond to areas where visibility is limited while maintaining stealth if needed. Night vision goggles mounted on the helmets allow for the accurate identification of targets and non-targets in the dark while able to use both hands to control weapons, movement of suspects, or less than lethal devices, which ensures more safety for the officers and the public.
Night vision can play a critical role in successful operations for YPD’s personnel. These headsets will assist YPD’s personnel with coordination and deployment in low-light and no light scenarios. Although the YPD’s readiness to respond in daylight is adequate, this equipment will increase a YPD’s officer safety and tactical advantages significantly at nighttime.
