The DLA has final authority to determine the type, quantity, and allocation of excess DoD personal property suitable for law enforcement activities. C. This agreement creates no entitlement to the State or Territory to receive excess DoD personal property, DLA retains the right to recall any property during the period that it is conditionally transferred. D. The Kent Police Department understands that property made available under this agreement is for the use of authorized program participants only. Authorized participants who receive property from the LESO Program will not loan, donate, or otherwise provide property to other groups or entities that are not otherwise authorized to participate in the Program. Authorized participating agencies may, with prior approval from the State/Territory on a temporary basis, conditionally loan property to another participating agency as their mission requires, utilizing an Equipment Custody Receipt (ECR). Property temporarily loaned will be returned to the LEA responsible for the accountability. All requests for property will be based on bona fide law enforcement requirements. E.

The cannibalized end item must be returned to DLA Disposition Services within the allotted timeframes determined by the LESO. H. The LESO conditionally transfers all excess DoD property to States/Territories/LEAs enrolled in the LESO Program. Title or ownership of controlled property will remain with the DoD in perpetuity and will not be relinquished to the States/Territories/LEAs. When the States/Territories/LEAs no longer has a legitimate law enforcement use for controlled property, the States/Territories/LEAs will notify the LESO and the controlled property must either be transferred to another enrolled LEA (via, standard transfer process) or returned to DLA Disposition Services for disposal. The LESO reserves the right to recall controlled and non -controlled property issued through the DLA at any time. I.

Sales or gifting of DEMIL"A" and "Q6" property after one year from the ship date in a manner inconsistent with State/Territory or local law may constitute grounds to deny future participation in the LESO Program. 5) An SF 97 form will be provided upon physical transfer for vehicles. Recipients are authorized to make upgrades to vehicles during the one (1) year conditional period. Fuil title to DEMIL "A" and "Q6" property, including vehicles, will vest in the recipient after one (1) year if all other requirements of this agreement have been met.

The State/LEA is required to maintain adequate liability insurance to cover damages or injuries to persons or property relating to the use of property issued under the LESO Program.

It is recognized that State and local law generally limit or preclude State Coordinators/LEAS from agreeing to open ended indemnity provisions. However, to the extent permitted by State and local laws, the State/LEA shall indemnify and hold the U.S. Government harmless from any and all actions, claims, debts, demands, judgments, liabilities, cost, and attorney's fees arising out of, claimed on account of, or in any manner predicated upon loss of, or damage to property and injuries, illness or disabilities to, or death of any and all persons 16 V ersion; July 2018 whatsoever, including members of the general public, or to the property of any legal or political entity including states, local and interstate bodies, in any manner caused by or contributed to by the State/LEA, its agents, servants, employees, or any person subject to its control while the property is in the possession of, used by, or subject to the control of the State/LEA, its agents, servants, or employees after the property has been removed from U.S. Government control. B. LEAs are not required to maintain insurance on controlled property, aircraft or other items with special handling requirements that remain titled to DoD. However, LEAS must be advised that if they elect to carry insurance and the insured property is on the LESO inventory at the time of loss or damage, the recipient must submit a check made payable to DLA for any insurance proceeds received in excess of their actual costs of acquiring and rehabilitating the property prior to its loss, damage, or destruction.
