Ammunition <br />January 20, 2026 <br />Page 2 <br />The Santa Ana Police Department's purchase of ammunition represents a critical and <br />recurring operational expense necessary to support public safety operations, regulatory <br />compliance, and risk mitigation. Ammunition is issued to sworn police officers and jail <br />transportation officers for duty use, mandatory training, and required monthly firearms <br />qualification to ensure continued proficiency and the safe handling of firearms. <br />Ammunition is also required to meet state -mandated firearms training standards for <br />police recruits attending the police academy. <br />Additionally, the Department supplies ammunition to its Forensic Services Section for <br />evidentiary firearms testing, ballistic analysis, and data entry. All operable firearms <br />collected and booked into evidence are test -fired to facilitate National Integrated Ballistic <br />Information Network (NIBIN) entry and microscopic comparison. <br />Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 25-117 was issued on October 7, 2025, on the City's online <br />bid management and publication system.
