BRILHANTE: It's a special provision for <br /> <br />3 <br />the police officers because the police department -- <br /> <br />4 <br />first and foremost -- they don't want to go back into <br /> <br />5 <br />the purchase-of-ammunition business. They don't want <br /> <br />6 <br />to be ammunition stores. So, what they do is they've <br /> <br />7 <br />identified certain expenses associated with the <br /> <br />8 <br />issuance of the police officers duties – firearm -- <br /> <br />9 <br />and they allow for -- the gun allowance is to pay for <br /> <br />10 <br />the, you know, purchase of ammunition, for training <br /> <br />11 <br />and the like -- and also for, you know, gun cleaning <br /> <br />12 <br />and things associated with the upkeep of a firearm. <br /> <br />13 <br />And there's also consideration given -- oftentimes a <br /> <br />14 <br />number of police officers will have what is identified <br /> <br />15 <br />as a “secondary weapon,” and that gun allowance is <br /> <br />16 <br />supposed to go to the purchase of that secondary <br /> <br />17 <br />weapon, you know. <br /> <br />18 <br />MR. PAVAO: The gun allowance is a monthly <br /> <br />19 <br />thing? <br /> <br />20 <br />MR. BRILHANTE: No, it's a one time. <br /> <br />21 <br />MR. PAVAO: One time? <br /> <br />22 <br />MR. BRILHANTE: Yeah. <br /> <br />23 <br />MS. GREENBAUM: I have a question. So the <br /> <br />24 <br />8,000, that's over and above their base, is that also <br /> <br />25 <br />covered in the retirement plan?
