The National Defense Authorization Act authorizes the Secretary of Defense to transfer excess Department of Defense property to state and local law enforcement agencies whose primary function is the enforcement of applicable Federal, State and local laws and whose compensated law enforcement officers have the powers of arrest and apprehension. Special emphasis is given to counter-drug and counter terrorism divisions
The Program provides all types of excess equipment to participating agencies free of charge except for costs related to the transport or pick up of property. Available equipment includes vehicles, aircraft, watercraft, weapons, computer equipment, generators, cold weather gear, radios and more.
