ISSUE AND BACKGROUND:
The Smyrna Police Department was given a firearms simulator by Glock about 5 years ago and it was already 15 years old. The technology and equipment are outdated, and
several features no longer work on it. Since we opened the new training center this year, we now have the space for a new firearms simulator to train our officers and other
agencies. The grant was awarded in the amount of $37,800.00.
RECOMMENDATION / REQUESTED ACTION: The Police Department and Finance staff recommend approval and acceptance of the State of Georgia FY2023 Law Enforcement Training Program Grant, awarded to us on October 6, 2022, through the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council in the amount of $37,800.00 for the purchase of a new firearms simulator for the new PD Training Center in Ward 7 and authorize the Mayor to sign and Execute all related documents.
