The New York City Department of Correction is reportedly shelling out about $150,000 for new rifles, scopes, tripods and ammunition.
A department spokesperson justified the purchases Monday by saying its members serve as first responders and can be called on to respond to critical incidents throughout the city – including any reports of a potential gunman at LaGuardia Airport.
A DOC source also insisted the purchase was necessary to keep city jails – such as on the troubled Rikers Island – safe. “We’re talking about El Chapo,” Bullaro told the outlet, referring to imprisoned Mexican drug lord Joaquín Guzmán as an example of when guards might pull out their new toys. Some didn’t like that purchase either, and wondered why the island jail complex needed such high-powered weaponry.
Keith Taylor, a 23-year veteran of the NYPD Emergency Services Unit and a former DOC assistant correction commissioner, said at the time that the MP5s were a vital part of the jail’s arsenal and not “for in-house stuff.”
