Subsequent discussions by the City Council resulted in <br />direction to pursue this goal. Money to fund the purchase of <br />standardized firearms for 20 officers was budgeted for 2001. Officers <br />on the police department were given the opportunity to test numerous <br />makes and models of firearms prior to making a recommendation for <br />purchase.
