Cooperative Purchasing Vehicles are revolutionizing the way public safety agencies acquire technology and equipment. By joining a Cooperative Purchasing Program, agencies can streamline their procurement process, ensure compliance with local and state requirements, and access a range of products at competitive pricing.
