PURPOSE: To approve a resolution authorizing the sale of surplus ammunition to the Person

BACKGROUND: The Orange County Sheriff's Office is in possession of surplus ammunition that
is either no longer needed by or not best suited for the agency. Having transitioned to a new
handgun that requires 9mm ammunition, the Sheriff's Office no longer has use for the .40 mm
rounds used with the Glock Model 22 and 23 previously carried by deputies. Pursuant to North
Carolina General Statute § 160A-274, the Orange County Sheriff's Office desires to sell 53,000
rounds of .40 S&W mm ammunition and 9,000 rounds of .40 S&W Gold Dot Hollow Point to the
Person County Sheriff's Office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: After approval of the resolution authorizing the sale of the surplus
ammunition, the Person County Sheriff's Office will complete the purchase of the 62,000 rounds
of ammunition for $10,000. The Sheriff's Office consulted with private law enforcement gear and
supply vendors to help establish the proposed $10,000 purchase amount.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: This item supports:
• GOAL 2: HEALTHY COMMUNITY
OBJECTIVE 5. Invest in, support, train, and retain our community safety, health, and
emergency services employees and direct care workforce.
OBJECTIVE 6. Provide sustainable, equitable, and high-quality community safety and
emergency services to meet the community's evolving needs.
