Date au 1 7 201V Hawai'i County is an Equal Opportunity Employer and Provider Form #: B-52 7/18/91 DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DEPARTMENT: Hawaii Police Department DATE: October 10, 2017 STAFF CONTACT: Lieutenant James Gusman PHONE: 961-2345 A. REQUEST: Request to accept donation of tactical rifle from Former US Secret Service Special Agent Donald H. Wilson. The rifle is in New condition and comes with a scope, case and ammunition and is valued at $7500. Upon checking current market values for the items online, the value set forth by the doner appears to be accurate. B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): The rifle is of the caliber .300 win mag which is of a higher caliber then the rifles currently employed by the Special Response Team. The more powerful rifle would be a good counter sniper rifle as the caliber we currently use is the type very popular with the civilian rifle industry and would give the Special Response Team an advantage in an active shooter/Sniper incident.
