Date: October 3 , 2024 To: Frank Nastasi, City Manager From: Robert J. Bruner, Deputy City Manager Rob Maleszyk, Chief Financial Officer Kyle Vieth, Controller Joshua Jones, Acting Chief of Police Frank Shuler, Police Lieutenant Dan Galich, Police Sergeant Emily Frontera, Purchasing Manager Subject: Standard Purchasing Resolution 2: Award to Low Bidder Meeting Specifications-Glock 45 MOS Handguns with Accessories – Troy Police Department History In 2019, the Troy Police Department purchased and acquired 155 Glock 9MM duty handguns. Although the current duty handguns are useful, in an effort to maintain the highest level of safety to the public as well as possess the highest quality equipment recommended , the Police Department is seeking to replace its current inventory of Glock 9MM duty handguns with Glock 45 MOS handguns. Miniaturized Red Dot Systems (MRDS) allows an officer to maintain a constant focus on the target, which can significantly improve threat awareness, help mitigate mistake of fact shootings and aid in more precise round placement over the traditional iron sights such as on the Glock 9MM duty handguns currently utilized by the Police Department. MRDS are mounted directly to the top of a duty handgun. This technology is a battery powered optic that generates a single red dot that appears on a target. By focusing on one focal plane an officer can better identify threats vs non-threats and ultimately make better split-second decisions with their duty handguns. MRDS incorporates Modular Optic System (MOS) technology. The use of a MOS on a handgun lowers the chance of an unjustified or accidental shooting because they are designed to be used with both eyes open and focusing on the possible threat. Focusing on the possible threat instead of a front sight of a handgun will allow our officers to gain more information and make better decisions. MOS are small windowed optics secured on the top of a handgun. An electronic red dot appears in the window when an officer points the handgun toward a possible threat and focuses on the possible threat. This electronic dot is easier to see in low light as well as for officers with less than perfect vision. Other industries such as automotive , project displays on the windshield so drivers do not have to take their eyes off of the road to gain information. Information like speed, the direction of travel, and History (continued) radio information (channel and song) are projected onto the windshield of several different models of vehicles. This information appears in peripheral vision allowing the driver to take in information at high speeds and in inclement weather focusing on what matters, being able to see the road and vehicles around them. The Glock 45 MOS handgun is milled at the factory to fit an MOS. The Police Department would like to replace our current duty handguns (Glock 17 with iron sights) with the Glock 45 MOS. The Police Department needs 133 Glock 45 MOS handguns in total ( 117 Glock 45 MOS for officers, 13 for the Tactical Support Team, and 3 spares for the armory) including hostlers and MOS accessories.
