Actually 5 or 6 weapons were tested by road deputies and training. They were placed on a list in order of recommendation on functionality, price, etc. AA was actually next to last on the list. When the presentation to the exec staff started with the first weapon, training was TOLD the agency was getting AA which incidentally was over $300.00 MORE than the top rated rifle. The exec staff made the decision, was well aware of the problems with the original 141 rifles, but SJ kept trying to repair them either by having the armorers replace parts or sending them to the factory.

You are correct. The AA deal was the brainchild of Simovich, Steffen, and Jowell. They all received kickbacks in the form of rifles and the Sheriff drank their cool aid. Car 1 was well aware of the early issues with AA but Simovich convinced him they would work. There’s back scratching here because former sheriff Bob White was a salesman for AA and the good ole boy network was in full effect. That’s why Jowell was directed to make it work and this agency was stuck with a sub standard rifle for several years. The real question was how much did the Sheriff know and how much was kept from him by the gate keeper Simovich. The acquisition of AA rifles went way above MS. That’s a fact.
