J. The LESO conditionally transfers all excess DOD property to States/ LEAs enrolled in the
LESO Program: Title or ownership of controlled property will remain with the LESO in perpetuity
and will not be relinquished to the LEAs. When the LEA no longer has legitimate law enforcement
uses for controlled property, the,LEA must notify the State,who will then notify the LESO, and the
controlled property must,either be°transferred to another enrolled LEA (via standard transfer
process) or returned to DLA Disposition Services for disposal. The LESO reserves the right to
recall controlled and non-controlled property issued through the LESO Program at any time.
K. Property with a DEMIL Code of"A" is also conditionally transferred to the LEA. However, after
one year from the Ship,Date,the LESO will relinquish ownership and title to the LEA. Prior to this
date, the State and LEA remains responsible for the accountability and physical control of the item(s)
and the LESO retains the right to recall the property. Title will not be relinquished to any property with
DEMIL Code of"A"that is controlledproperty identified in Paragraph III E.
1) Property with DEMIL Code of"A" will automatically be placed in an archived status
on the LEAs property book upon meeting the one year mark.
2) Once archived, the property is no longer subject to annual inventory requirements

mark (from Ship Date) without issuance of any further documentation.
4) LEAs receive title and ownership of DEMIL "A" items as governmental entities. Title
3
and ownership of DEMIL "A" property does not pass from DOD to any private
individual or LEA official in their private capacity. Accordingly, such property should
be maintained and ultimately disposed of in accordance with provisions in State and
local law that govern public property. Sales or gifting of DEMIL "A" property after the
one year mark in a manner inconsistent with State or local law may constitute
grounds to deny future participation in the LESO Program.
L. The LEAs are not authorized to transfer controlled property or DEMIL Code"A" property carried on
their inventory without LESO notification and approval. Property will not physically move until the
State and LESO approval process is complete.
IV. ENROLLMENT

Management Information System [FEPMIS]).
