Each rifle has a front and rear?iron sight.?With iron sights,the eye, rear sight, front sight, and target must all be exactly aligned Your aiming eye is focused on the front sight and on the target, and the other eye is typically closed. While this technique works very well, it' requires a lot of practice, tends to fall apart under stress when it9s needed the most, and limits• your view of the target and the surroundings Electronic sights are faster on target and will allow for improved ?situational awareness and effectiveness.?The need for a patrol nfle operator to deliver precision shot placement is vital An electronic sight or?optic?will not only significantly improve the chance of success but will also lessen civil liability for both the officer and agency. An electronic sight is also more effective in low-light conditions than iron sights Funds needed to purchase these optics are not currently available Project Summary (Scope of Work) The Clermont Police Department would use the awarded JAG funds to outfit each assigned patrol rifle with a rail mounted electronic optic. These funds would assist us in purchasing the equipment needed for each patrol rifle operator to carry out his/her patrol duties in a safe and efficient manner should a catastrophic(active shooter)incident arise. In such incidents, our citizens will be safer if these electronic sights are purchased and implemented Once the electronic sights are implemented, ALL patrol rifle operators will be properly trained in the use of this new equipment Application Ref# 2013-JAGC-2079 Section#2 Page 1 of 2 Contract 2013-JAGC-LAKE-5-D7- Rule Reference 11D-9 006 OCJG-005(rev April 2005) Application for Funding Assistance Florida Department of Law Enforcement Justice Assistance Grant- County-wide • , s Fri s. , fit t y.
