Quartermaster
In addition to the daily routine
of managing the department’s
fleet, uniforms and supplies, the
Quartermaster’s office took on some
significant projects impacting the
organization. Fleet Specialists put 48
new Chevy Tahoes and Dodge Chargers
into service, accounting for nearly 25%
of the patrol fleet.
The Quartermaster’s office moved
over 4,000 uniform pieces during the
implementation of the new body-worn
cameras which required alterations
to be completed to accommodate
the cameras. This project was labor
intensive and required a joint effort
with vendors and patrol districts. This
project required extensive planning
and communication over a 5 month
timeframe.
The department implemented a
new ballcap for officers after approval
from Police Chief Will Johnson. Ballcaps
can be worn by officers to protect them
from sun and other weather conditions.
All sworn officers had to be sized for
the new ballcap due to a quick order
turnaround. All ballcaps arrived and
were issued to officers.
The unit also took delivery of over
200 sets of active shooter ballistic gear.
This included rifle resistant body armor
plates, a vest carrier, rifle resistant
helmet, and a carry bag. The gear
weighed over 9,000 pounds and has
been issued to sworn personnel.
