agencies. The Defense Logistics Agency, administers 
such section by operating the Law Enforcement Sup-
port Office program. 
(2) New and used material, including mine-re-
sistant ambush-protected vehicles and weapons deter-
mined by the Department of Defense to be ‘‘military 
grade’’ are transferred to Federal, Tribal, State, and 
local law enforcement agencies through the program. 
(3) As a result local law enforcement agencies, 
including police and sheriff’s departments, are ac-
quiring this material for use in their normal oper-
ations. 
(4) As a result of the wars in Iraq and Afghani-
stan, military equipment purchased for, and used in, 
those wars has become excess property and has been 
made available for transfer to local and Federal law 
enforcement agencies. 
(5) In Fiscal Year 2017, $504,000,000 worth of 
property was transferred to law enforcement agencies. 
(6) More than $6,800,000,000 worth of weapons 
and equipment have been transferred to police organi-
zations in all 50 States and four territories through 
the program. 
(7) In May 2012, the Defense Logistics Agency 
instituted a moratorium on weapons transfers

through the program after reports of missing equip-
ment and inappropriate weapons transfers. 
(8) Though the moratorium was widely pub-
licized, it was lifted in October 2013 without adequate 
safeguards. 
(9) On January 16, 2015, President Barack 
Obama issued Executive Order 13688 to better coordi-
nate and regulate the federal transfer of military 
weapons and equipment to State, local, and Tribal 
law enforcement agencies. 
(10) In July, 2017, the Government Account-
ability Office reported that the program’s internal 
controls were inadequate to prevent fraudulent appli-
cants’ access to the program. 
(11) On August, 28, 2017, President Donald 
Trump rescinded Executive Order 13688 despite a 
July 2017 Government Accountability Office report 
finding deficiencies with the administration of the 
1033 program. 
(12) As a result, Federal, State, and local law 
enforcement departments across the country are eligi-
ble again to acquire free ‘‘military-grade’’ weapons 
and equipment that could be used inappropriately 
during policing efforts in which people and taxpayers 
could be harmed.
