equipment therefore allowing the counties to leverage specialized equipment for high -risk operations no matter the jurisdiction. <br />No one county can afford to equip their entire team with this critical piece of equipment, through this grant we will be able to <br />assign the easily portable equipment throughout the region. The equipment is easily transferable from jurisdiction to jurisdiction <br />with ease. Through the NPA project, each county will be able to purchase the same equipment. <br />PRIMARY CORE CAPABILITIES <br />Interdiction and Disruption <br />Operational Coordination <br />Core Capability #1 <br />Core Capability #2 (optional) <br />SOLUTION AREAS <br />PLANNING ORGANIZATION EQUIPMENT TRAINING EXERCISE TOTAL <br />tro inn nn Cco Inn nn <br />$0.00 $0.00 $127�" 2 0 $0.00 $0.00 $12Z�" 6 D00 <br />GAP(S) IDENTIFIED <br />WA 2022 SPR <br />- "31% out of 17 Local Respondents have gaps in equipment, supplies, and systems that comply with relevant standards in Law <br />Enforcement". <br />- "There is a need to replace expiring equipment and improve electronics, ballistic protection, communication, and other <br />equipment used in law enforcement operations." <br />- "Identify, purchase, and distribute specialized tactical teams' equipment such as: ballistic helmets, shields, and vests in local <br />jurisdictions" <br />ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED <br />- Purchase night vision goggles and ballistic shields <br />COLLABORATION <br />The tactical commanders of each county's team have agreed to start standardizing tactical equipment. This will allow operators <br />from different jurisdictions the ability to utilize specialized equipment from their partners. Regional teams will be equipped with <br />the same equipment and attend the same training. All five counties in Region 7 will benefit from this NPA project. Since we will <br />all be trained on the same equipment, all Region 7 tactical teams will benefit by being able to borrow the standardized equipment <br />on high -risk missions as needed. The specialized equipment will be spread out throughout the region with the ability to easily <br />transfer the assets quickly. <br />MLTRT has had multiple mutual training days with the Kittitas County Sheriff's Office Special Response Team (SRT) throughout the <br />last couple of years. SRT has also assisted MLTRT on multiple high risk search warrant operations. After speaking with SRT, they <br />have also identified a need for ballistic shields. <br />Collaboration within Grant County: Grant County Sheriff's Office, Grant County Fire District(s), Moses Lake Police Department, <br />Ephrata Fire Department, Moses Lake Fire Department <br />ASSOCIATED DELIVERABLES/OUTPUTS (IMMEDIATE) <br />This project will immediately expand the operational capabilities of all of Region Ts tactical teams and the teams will be better <br />prepared to address high -risk incidents. This project will -also -allow the tactical teams the ability to share critical mission specific <br />equipment. <br />DESIRED OUTCOMES (INTERMEDIATE and LONG-TERM) <br />For the intermediate and long-term outcomes, this project will allow Region 7 tactical teams the ability to assist one another with <br />both manpower and equipment. Since the specialized equipment is standardized, the teams will already have training in its use <br />therefore allowing the teams to share the night vision and shields throughout Region 7 as needed, resulting in better, safer <br />outcomes for the teams and the community. <br />NEXUS TO TERRORISM <br />All of Region 7's tactical teams are trained in responding to acts of terrorism. This project will enhance the operational <br />capabilities of the regional teams to respond to terrorist acts more safely and effectively. <br />DHS-FEMA-HSGP-SHSP-FY23 Page 5 of 7 Kittitas County, E24-135 Amendment 2 <br />
