1033 Program Case Study

A). 1115 Waiver are the Medicaid rules that gave us the opportunity to expanded services primarily in primary care in annual health and emergency room services. Dr. Gardner stated part of it, is the uncompensated care. Most of it goes to the private hospitals across the state. The way the rules are set to describe uncompensated care allows private hospitals to participate. The only way to draw money from the federal government is to use an IBT; which has to be tax dollars. Private hospitals send us money; we then send that money along with some of our own to Austin. They will forward it Washington, the match is made of $1.40 to $1.60, it then comes back to Austin (who takes some), and

Bars state and local law enforcement from transferring seized property to federal agencies to avoid the requirements in the bill. [Health and Safety Code § 11471.2(a)]

Rep. Sykes is open to hear any suggestions to HB 392. Any suggestions that will make it more favorable for the Conference because the goal is to move forward with it in a positive manner with everyone on board.

I absolutely believe that it is appropriate and necessary for local and state law enforcement agencies to acquire equipment from the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO) better known as The 1033 Program. This program allows all agencies to sign for perfectly good excess military equipment without any cost to the agency. This really benefits the smaller agencies across the country because the majority of the agencies employ less than 200 personnel with over three quarters of the department’s budget solely going towards salary and benefits (Dudley, 2014). Being able to sign for excess military equipment without any charge allows that department to be better equipped and saves the taxpayers money.

For this assessment I am going to write a report about two businesses. A large national business, and a small local business. My large business is Manchester Airport because it is a large corporation and is very easy to research about. School has also organised a trip for us to go and visit Manchester Airport where we will be able to ask questions about the business. My small business is Coca-Cola shop (corner shop) because I’ve been going there for years, due to this fact I have become fairly good friends with the business owner. This will allow me to go to his shop and ask him the questions without being nervous. I will then describe and compare the purpose aims and objectives of the two businesses. I will also look into what activities they do as a business, and who their competitors are.

However, I did find that the LAPD uses Lenco BearCats (“LAPD Police Car Web Site”). According to AcronymFinder.com BearCat stands for Ballistic Engineered Armored Response Counter Attack Truck. These Armored vehicles can cost around $230,000 depending on the upgrades purchased (Schlueb). Not only does the equipment they use carry a heavy monetary cost, but it also carries a heavy social cost. According to an article written by Cheryl K. Chumley “More than four of 10 respondents said they weren’t confident police could use military-grade equipment and weapons appropriately…”

If you show up to a gunfight with a pocketknife, you’re in trouble. Likewise, if law officers show up to a standoff with a gunman without the proper tools, they will be in a tremendous predicament. For such a situation, the LENCO Bearcat is the exemplary vehicle in which to arrive. The Medford Police Department clearly did the right thing when they bought a LENCO Bearcat.

The next issue called into question is the fact that this law requires all who own them to register their “assault weapons”. This can be an issue of privacy and can also predispose police officers into thinking that these citizens may be criminals just because they own assault weapons.

The weapons, ammunition and material for the exclusive use of police force and navy must be registered.

These companies from North and South of the Country creates guns that are real with no indication that the police officers instinct is to follow the law by asking the suspect to put the gun down slowly and move away from the

Additionally in 2009, Congress voted to permit clients riding Amtrak to check firearms and ammo in their gear. (In spite of the fact that aircrafts have a comparative arrangement, the governmentally financed national rail benefit banished weapons in any gear, checked or continue, after the 9/11 psychological oppressor assaults.)

expected that these weapons will not only be used by MAF, but also will attract other users such as Police, Coast Guard and other enforcement agencies.[4]

The United States of America is a nation of massacres by military-type assault weapons. Aware of the deadliness of these weapons and due to public safety concerns clearly outweighing the benefits of personal ownership of military-type assault weapons, the United States passed the 1994 Federal Ban on military-type assault weapons. This ban was notably effective during the 10 years it was in effect. However, the Ban automatically expired in 2004. Since that time, the number of U. S. mass murders has markedly increased. Attempts to reinstate the Ban, most recently the stricter 2013 Ban, have all failed. Nevertheless, the less restrictive 1994 Ban did pass the Senate and House of Representatives at one point and was successful. Therefore, the 1994 Federal Ban on military-type assault weapons should be reinstated.

Federal restrictions enacted in 1934 on the ownership of fully automatic weapons (machine guns) appear to have been quite successful based on the rarity with which such guns are used in crime. The ban was lifted in 2004.

I am impressed by your views of the 1033 program. It does seem like a way to enforce Martial Law slowly into our police agencies. It is a fear for most American's that the police will have more and more control of their everyday lives. By staying away from this program and not buying or using these items they government would miss out on needed upgraded supplies and technology. And, although you make a good point, if the police are trying to use Martial Law they can get what they need from another source. All agencies have funds and funding that they can use and maneuver at their discretion with some restrictions.
