Procedure
The Police Department will make purchases of police bulletproof vests as normal. When a vest
is purchased and received, the National City Police Department will start the online
reimbursement request by going to the Bulletproof Vest Partnership website and logging into our
account, which is already active. The Police Department will go to Section 4.1 and complete the
"Report Receipt of Vests" and Section 5.1 "Request Payment".
Payments will be processed by the Bulletproof Vest Partnership and payment will be transferred
to the City's designated Automated Clearing House (ACH) account provided to BVP at the time
of application.
