Attorney General Miyares Launches Effort to Send Expired, Surplus Law Enforcement Gear to Israel

RICHMOND, Va. -- Attorney General Jason Miyares today sent a letter to all 123 Virginia Sheriffs asking them to consider donating their expired or excess law enforcement gear to the Office of the Attorney General, to be donated to civilians and first responders in Israel amid the ongoing war. 

"While I'm aware that some police departments are stretched for resources, there are many departments that have expired equipment that are required to be donated or discarded. If you have excess law enforcement protective equipment, my office will collect them and ship it to Israel," Attorney General Miyares said.
