Tuckahoe Police Make Most Of Excess Government Equipment

EASTCHESTER, N.Y. Tuckahoe police officials have given new meaning to the adage "one person's trash is another person's treasure" and have furnished the department with high-end vehicles and equipment no longer being used by the U.S. Department of Defense to prepare the village to handle a "worst-case scenario." Since entering the program in 2010, the department has been very successful in acquiring vehicles, weapons and emergency equipment as part of the 1033 Department of Defense Federal Excess Property Program, which provides municipalities with goods at no charge that the federal government no longer deems viable.
