    Belleville Police requests $100K from City to buy armoured vehicle in 2026 Capital Budget

    Belleville Police Services’ 2026 Capital Budget requests $100k in funding for a “Community Rescue Vehicle” for the Emergency Response Unit (ERU). BPS gave the purchase a Priority Rating of 5 (“Absolutely Required”) and estimates that its useful life will be 10 years.

    Rationale

    ERU has been requesting an armoured community rescue vehicle for the past 8 years. Services across the province have this capability already and it has been proven invaluable. The amount of firearms incidents that ERU has been in involved in has increased dramatically over the last 5 years. Other services have also found it to be a great community outreach tool.

    The purchase would be funded by the Police Services Reserve Fund, which has been primarily funded by property taxes.
