The Walnut Creek City Council will decide Tuesday whether its police department can buy a new armored response vehicle for its bomb squad.
The police department received a Homeland Security Grant for the necessary $267,543, which will come as a re-imbursement once the city buys the truck. Any purchases over more than $85,000 must be approved by the council.
The grant goes to $303,804, allowing the department to buy advanced electronic diagnostic equipment, explosive safety equipment and specialized training.
The vehicle is a seriously modified 2022 Ford F-550, weighing 19,500 pounds and powered by a 6.7 liter, V8, power stroke, turbo-charged diesel engine. The city is buying the armored truck from Florida-based Emergency Vehicles, Inc.
