THE SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY SHERIFFS OFFICE WILL USE THE FY 2024 JAG FUNDS TO PURCHASE 37 BALLISTIC RIFLE PLATES FOR THE SHERIFFS SPECIAL ENFORCEMENT DETAIL TEAM. THIS PROJECT WILL ENSURE OUR DEPUTIES HAVE ACCESS TO RELIABLE AND COMPLIANT PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT THAT ADHERE TO ENHANCED SAFETY STANDARDS, INCLUDING LEVEL IIIA, II, AND BALLISTIC/STAB SOFT ARMOR SYSTEMS. THIS PROCUREMENT WILL OCCUR OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL REPLACEMENT CYCLE FOR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, ADDRESSING AN URGENT NEED FOR OPERATIONAL READINESS.
