The Ocean City Police Department will soon be making its annual mass
purchase of ammunition, a requisition that will supply 86,000 rounds for
the department’s firearms and highlight the unique situation of the
OCPD as a largely seasonal police force.
According to OCPD Lt. Richard Moreck, this will be the third year in a
row that the department has made its purchase from The Gun Shop in
Vincentown, N.J.
The Gun Shop is the regional distributor for Federal brand
ammunition, allowing the OCPD to get its order direct from the factory.
The store also holds the ammunition contract for the state of Maryland,
and the state extends its contract pricing to the OCPD to for certain
types of ammunition, a benefit that helps subsidize the training of
Ocean City’s seasonal police force. Ocean City is the only jurisdiction
in the state allowed to raise such a force each summer.

Nothing like Homeland Security recently: 450 Million Rounds of 40 Caliper Hollow-point, 1,770 Armored vehicles with Machine Guns Mounted, All 78 Fema Camps upgraded with the most technological video equipment with brand new barb wire installed, and the list goes on!
86,000 rounds at the range , they are not allowed to shoot at people.
Since when they shot someone last year.
Welcome to Ocean City. Please check your body armor.
I just got my yearly 3,000 rounds. Got to stay in practice and stocked up!
I am a business man and I can tell you if they are buying from a New J. gun shop they are NOT buying factory direct from Federal. More B.S. Simple answer, The owner of the gun has cost to run his business and he is in business to make money. Why couldn't the police dept buy from a Md business, it would be better for the state all the way around. Answer: it is easier to trace kick-backs. Remember John Gotti $1.00 for each window. Buy from Federal, factory direct or buy from a business in Md "Government at work"
9:31 meant to say: The owner of the "gun shop" Thanks for posting my comment.
