The Police Department has struggled to maintain adequate levels of training ammunition as there has been a shortage of raw material (lead)(brass)(primers), coupled with the COVID-19 supply chain distribution issues. The timeline stipulation is important to ensure we can expect deliveries within a reasonable amount of time.
