Any depts get useful items from DMRO?
I'm state Agent a member of my SOG team which is essentially a High Risk warrant team, we have uniforms, hard armor, helmets M4's, a Bear Cat, and we're all (or in the process of ) NTOA SWAT certified.
We're looking to expand our capabilities and funding isn't easy in this day and age. I think our long term goals are a 2nd Armored vehicle (5 hours is a long way to drive a bear car for a job so 1 for each half of the state would make sense), and bearcats are rough on inner city 1 way streets, so something smaller might be more useful.
I think we'd also like to eventually develope negotiators, gas for barricades, and snipers. It's going to be a slow process primarily because of funding, training and manpower.
I've volunteered into looking into DMRO to see if there's any serviceable gear we could put to use.
I already know MRAPs are a nightmare, anyone have any other experience?
I'd love to get a hold of some M14's for the team, but I have no idea what we'd need them for.
I found the contact info for our states coordinator and will be reaching out this week.
Thanks.
