BACKGROUND Tukwila is partnered with the Valley SWAT Team for providing a specialized response to highly dangerous incidents involving armed suspects. Tactics for transporting SWAT Team members into and out of the range of suspects' targeting involve the use of armored vehicles. The Valley SWAT team currently has armored vehicles called "BearCats" that are deployable in an overt response to threats. This vehicle is a military - style vehicle that looks like a police armored vehicle. They also have a carrier that is being refitted to allow for safer armored transportation in a more covert capacity. However, the SWAT Team needs a carrier that can carry more team members at once and need the ability to deploy two teams simultaneously in a covert fashion. Therefore, a second covert armored van is required to allow for more efficient and safer SWAT operations. DISCUSSION Because of the high cost of an armored vehicle, not all Valley partnered agencies have the financial capacity to contribute towards the purchase of an armored vehicle for the team. Tukwila has state seizure funds available, allowing for the capacity to take on a larger portion of the purchase of the armored SWAT vehicle. These funds have restricted use, and the armored vehicle falls within the guidelines of the restrictions. Tukwila's larger contribution will allow for the vehicle to be purchased, which otherwise would have a financial shortfall. FINANCIAL IMPACT Tukwila Police Department would like to contribute $100,000.00 of state seizure funds towards the purchase of the armored vehicle. State seizure funds must have a nexus to drug enforcement to be an authorized purchase. Where Valley SWAT is utilized to serve drug- related warrants, this purchase falls within the restrictive expenditures. Typically, Tukwila will use its state seizure funds for training and equipment for the TAC Team (Tukwila's drug enforcement team). However, over the last three years, the team has not been fully staffed, and at the beginning of 2022, was merged with the Major Crimes Unit to assist with the follow-up investigation of felony crimes. As a result, the funds are not being expended at the usual rate and funds are available to contribute the $100,000.00. Future operating and maintenance costs will be absorbed by the Valley SWAT regional budget. 27 28 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 RECOMMENDATION We are requesting approval from Council to allow the $100,000.00 expenditure from the state seizure fund to contribute towards the purchase of the Valley SWAT armored vehicle and have the approval to move forward to the September 19, 2022 Council consent agenda.

This guarantees improved performance in the event that the vehicle tires become disabled. 3.9 Other Features • Vehicle tire jack (upgraded if necessary to lift additional weight of armor) & tire iron. • Steel protection over fuel tank. • Ballistic protection for engine ECM unit and battery. • Wire mesh installed in tailpipe to prevent insertion of foreign objects. • All manuals and written information provided by vehicle manufacturer shall be included. • All armoring completed by experienced technicians. 8 i ti 1064 NIJ Standard - 0108.01 BALLISTIC RESISTANT PROTECTIVE MATERIALS r! 3.10 Weights • The centre of gravity in a vehicle of this nature is high when compared to that of an unarmored equivalent, thereby making vehicles such as this inherently less stable than commercially available units. While suspension upgrades have been engineered to offset this effect, care must be taken in handling any armored vehicle. It is strongly recommended that drivers are specifically trained to handle the vehicle with the increase in weight load and change in centre of gravity position. 4.0 Ballistic Specifications The following table represents the ballistic protection levels for the above mentioned vehicle for both transparent and opaque armor: (Level NIJ III). Opaque Armor: Armored passenger compartment roof and 4 sides. Floor of passenger compartment is protected to shield against fragmentation from simultaneous detonation of 2 DM -51 German ordnance hand grenades or equivalent.
