MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
VIA: Stan Morris, City Manager
FROM: Edward Santiago, Chief of Police
DATE: November 20, 2025
RE: Authorization to Expend Budgeted Funds for the Purchase of Field Force/Riot
Equipment for the Police Department
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this Resolution.
REASONS:
The Police department is requesting approval to purchase field force and riot control gear/equipment
for all sworn officers from Tactical Edge Consulting, LLC, under the Miami -Dade County Contract #RTQ-
02181. The total cost of this procurement will not exceed $167,750.00. The equipment includes gas
masks with accessories, ballistic shields, rifle -rated body armor plates, and tactical plate carriers. This
gear is essential to ensure officer safety and preparedness during crowd control operations, civil
disturbances, and emergency response situations. As our city continues to grow and attract more
visitors for high -profile events, including the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 and the G20 Summit, it is
increasingly important that our department is equipped with reliable and modern protective
equipment. Additionally, the general rise in public demonstrations and large gatherings requires a
proactive approach to officer readiness. This investment will enhance our operational capabilities,
support officer safety, and help maintain public order during high -risk scenarios while aligning with best
practices in law enforcement preparedness.
