1033 program

Since 1990, the Defense Department has funneled more than $7.4 billion in excess military gear to nearly 8,000 federal and state law enforcement agencies across the United States

A new analysis of a decade of records across 651 Georgia police departments and sheriff’s offices found departments that took more than $1,000 in 1033 money, on average, fatally shot about four times as many people as those that didn’t

Officials said the decision to surrender the two pieces of equipment — a $658,000 armored vehicle and a $50,000 Humvee — was made “in order to maintain the trust and confidence the community has for the Santa Fe Police Department.”
