Cooperative Contract Use for the Purchase of PepperBall Launcher Equipment and Supplies for the Mesa Police Department (Citywide)
Under Senate Bill 1720, the Arizona State Treasurer has appropriated $250,000 to the Mesa Police Department as one of three cities to pilot a PepperBall program. This program is intended to test a less lethal force option when faced with resistance or crowd dispersal without significant bodily injury. This purchase will provide 84 PepperBall TAC-SA (tactical semi-automatic) launchers and other required equipment for the pilot program.
The Police Department and Purchasing recommend authorizing the purchase using the Maricopa County cooperative contract with Safeware Inc. at $250,000, based on estimated requirements. This purchase is funded by Senate Bill 1720, Arizona State Treasurer.
