There is Surplus at the White Farm in Concord. That is through the NH Department of Administration: http://admin.state.nh.us/purchasing/Surplus.asp That page is not very helpful as al it shows is school food. The Federal GSA web shows this for a contact and I think it is still accurate: The Federal DRMS also has a searchable web page. https://www.drms.dla.mil/rtd03/index.html LESO section is https://www.drms.dla.mil/leso/LesoHome.html

Any chiefs that are trying to put together a K9 program but have funding issues put them in touch with me and I will talk them through the easiest grant I have seen. It is through the NACOP. We verified the validity of it and were able to easily raise a total of almost $12,000 (we only have 1400 residents). It is a 100% match up to $5,000. It is only applicable to K9 programs.

Commercial Equipment Direct Assistance Program- submitted by Chief Shagoury, Tuftonboro PD-

I heard of it through IACPnet. CEDAP: A new phase is tentatively scheduled to start July 1. https://www.rkb.us/contentdetail.cfm?content_id=83219

Here is info on it:

The Electronic Proving Grounds of the US Army has a grant program to transfer equipment to police agencies for use in counter drug work or terrorism protection (or at least that's how the grant needs to be worded). Over the last few years I was able to obtain a thermal imager and night vision goggles, and associated training at 0 cost to the PD.

Agencies can get thermal & night vision, video systems, wires and much more. It is a bit of a tedious process, but well worth it if you are selected.
