The U.S. Department of Defense allows local law enforcement agencies to apply for surplus weapons from the military under its 1033 Program, named after a section of the National Defense Authorization Act.
Within the past 10 years, Bay Area law enforcement agencies acquired more than $11 million worth of military equipment, including trucks and ballistic equipment, through the program. The Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office spent approximately $4,700 on 157 reflex sights for firearms and six camouflage sets.
“The equipment we do have is standard police issue,” said Assistant Sheriff Dalia Rodriguez, who noted that the office does not have weapons over .50 caliber. “All our weaponry is for the environment we currently enforce.”
