Subject: Nashua Police Department Bulletproof Vests
The Nashua Police Department (NPD) is requesting to purchase fifty-one (51} second chance SX Level iI
bulletproof vests as needed during fiscal FY 18 budget year. Forty-three (43) of the vests are part of the
five year manufacturer replacement schedule for vest with expiration dates prior to June 30". The balance
of eight (8) vests is anticipated for potential new hire recruits as need for the fiscal year. The current vests
are being retained for use during training such as simulations.
The Nashua Police Department recommends purchasing the vest order from Atlantic Tactical of New

2017 Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant for a portion of the vest purchase price. The Police Department's
required match will be funded from the Department's Protective Clothing account.
Sincerely,
