There is no financial impact to the General Fund.
Background Information:
The Tehama County Probation Department previously transitioned from .40 caliber firearms to 9mm caliber firearms, purchasing new Smith & Wesson handguns to support this change. The Glock handguns have been out of service for several years. The Department intends to trade in the surplus Glock firearms through a licensed firearms dealer. Store credit from the trade-in will be used toward the acquisition of new, California-compliant rifles. The Department currently uses Ruger Mini-14 rifles manufactured in the 1980s, which were owned by the Tehama County Sheriff's Office. Replacing these with modern AR-15 rifles will enhance operational readiness and allow for magazine interchangeability with other County law enforcement agencies in the event of a mass shooting or other shooting incident.
