The Blair City Council approved a June 9, 2026 resolution authorizing the Police Department to purchase replacement patrol firearms and new duty pistols using Public Safety Bond funds. The department is replacing roughly decade-old rifles and shotguns and adding pistols to equip new officers and standardize on the authorized duty platform. The purchase covers five Sig Sauer patrol rifles, five Mossberg patrol shotguns, and five Glock duty pistols at a total cost of 17229.70, with authorization to issue payment in line with the existing quotation. While the vendor is not named, this decision confirms the city’s current firearms platforms and shows active use of bond funds for officer safety equipment, which can signal future needs for armory services, ammunition, accessories, training, and lifecycle replacement planning tied to these weapon systems.
