The Quartermaster Unit handles uniform and equipment purchasing for the department. This includes such items as Tasers, Kevlar helmets, gas masks, batons, Narcan, ballistic vests, outer carriers, rifle plates, leather gear and pepper spray/gel. The Quartermaster Unit also purchases and distributes all PPE for the department
