Police Departments get a lot of surplus military equipment, including
armored and soft skinned vehicles, helicopters, boats, protective
equipment, and other military equipment.


So do Fire Departments. Whole bunch of old "6 by"s serving as grass
rigs, for instance.

Most of those actually are 'long term loan', through GSA/Forest Service.
When they get worn out, they are returned (on paper only) to GSA, and
sold through their online auctions. Go to gasauctions.gov, and look
under 'trucks'. Half of them are usually red-painted old military 6x6
and Dodge 880s.
