Officers are required to use department- issued ammunition for department - authorized firearms.
The Police Department currently uses Winchester Law Enforcement ammunition for patrol
shotguns and rifles. Ammunition is used during training and field operations to maintain
proficiency with firearms. There are only two California authorized distributors for this brand,
Adamson Industries, serving Northern California and Dooley Enterprises, Inc., serving Southern
California. Dooley Enterprises is located in Anaheim, which allows for product pick -up on an as-
need basis. The proximity of Dooley Enterprises, Inc. with the Department, allows the Armorer
to purchase in small quantities which makes storage manageable.
The Department is requesting the continuation of ammunition supplies from sole source vendor,
Dooley Enterprises, Inc., for a total amount not to exceed $75,000.
