Want to see what the government gave your community? Did you get a helicopter? A bunch of high caliber rifles? A mine resistant vehicle? What about a grenade launcher?
This all seems heavy handed to me.
You can search by State, then scroll for your police, sheriff's department, or college campus police department.

Thanks for the link, very interesting.
Excellent use of tax payer resources.
nice to see the article start out with Johnston, RI., a stone's throw from where I live in Providence.
2 bomb disposal robots, 10 tactical trucks, 35 assault rifles, 100 infrared gun sights, 2 pairs of footwear designed to protect against mines...
and all the time I thought the cops there just pulled over young pretty women to try to get a date...
maybe they'll pull up in one of those tactical trucks and REALLY make an impression...
