EEO Utilization Report

As a recipient of the Department of Justice grant funding, it is a requirement that the Police Department create an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP), which is also known as an Equal Opportunity Utilization Report/Short Form.  The purpose of the EEOP is to make sure that recipients of the financial assistance of the Department of Justice are providing equal employment opportunities to men and women regardless of gender, race, age group, religious affiliation, ethnicity or disability. 

The City of Westminster is a drug free workplace and an Equal Opportunity Employer that values diversity and aims to have its workplace reflect the community. 

Non-Discrimination Policy and Complaint Procedure

  • A brochure from the U.S. Department of Justice - Office of Justice Programs on “Civil Rights Laws Prohibit Discrimination by Agencies that Receive Federal Assistance.”

 Federal 1033 Program

The Westminster Police Department is currently enrolled in the Federal 1033 Program, which allows local law enforcement agencies to receive excess Department of Defense (DoD) property that may aid in our abilities to provide public safety services to the community.  In the past, the department has utilized this program to acquire equipment, such as: a tactical robot, night-vision, small arms, cold weather gear, clothing and items of similar function.  Currently the only item the police department has in-service is a Packbot Robot.  Certain types of this equipment is categorized as “controlled” property, which always remains the property of and is accountable to the DoD.  Examples of controlled property is: night-vision equipment, small arms, demilitarized vehicles and aircraft. When a law enforcement agency no longer wants the controlled property, it must be returned to the federal agency for proper disposition.  Some of the items we may request in the future could include: night vision, active threat type breaching equipment, riot protection gear, robots and training ammunition.  Please note this notice does not ensure acquisition of stated property, as all property is on a first come basis with all participating LEAs in 49 states and four U.S. territories.  We welcome and seek the input of our communities where controlled property could be used. For inquiries into the program please visit: CDPS 1033 Program.  If you have questions about the police department’s utilization of the program, contact Commander Trevor Materasso at tmateras@westminsterco.gov
