SUBJECT: Forfeiture Fund Purchases
The Brooklyn Center Police Department forfeiture fund showed a balance of $29,805.00 on
January 31, 1999. The forfeiture committee, consisting of representatives from the various
divisions within the police department, met on March 8, 1999. This committee recommends the
following purchases:
1. 48 GLOCK 40 CALIBER HANDGUNS (TO BE ISSUED TO EVERY SWORN
OFFICER)
This weapon was one of several evaluated and the weapon of choice as determined by the
handgun selection committee. The Glock 40 caliber replaces the Smith & Wesson 9mm
that is currently issued to officers. The Smith & Wesson weapons are eight years old and
are showing a lack of reliability. An unacceptable level of misfires at the firing range and
several of the Smith & Wesson 9mm weapons have cracked frames. It is apparent that
the Smith & Wesson 9mm have reached the end of their service life. Each Glock 40
caliber costs $425. The current Smith & Wesson weapons will be traded in for a credit of
$250 per weapon.
