Overview

The National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 1994 contain Section 1122, which allows State and local governments to purchase new law enforcement equipment for counterdrug activities through the Federal Government. This program affords state and local agencies the opportunity to take advantage of the discounts available to the Federal Government due to it's large volume purchases. By using this system, law enforcement activities will be able to obtain materials which are especially valuable to the drug interdiction mission and at the same time, stretch their budget dollars.

The Law Enforcement Program provides items to its customers through three separate federal sources working in conjunction with the Department of Justice:

• Defense Logistics Agency (DLA)
• Department of the Army (DA)
• General Services Administration (GSA)

The Minnesota National Guard Counterdrug Program is the State point of contact for Minnesota's local, county, and state law enforcement agencies purchasing equipment through Federal procurement channels, provided that the equipment is used in the performance of counterdrug related activities. This equipment is part of the 1122 program and all contractors selling under the 1122 program have been screened by the Federal Government to provide the best services and product.  The Minnesota National Guard Counterdrug Program strives to assist Minnesota law enforcement agencies in utilizing this program to make the best use of its limited taxpayer dollar. This program has great potential to be a valuable resource in the Nation's fight against illegal drugs.
