On July 9, 2026, Harris County Commissioners Court will vote on renewing the Harris County Sheriff's Office's yearly application for the federal Law Enforcement Support Office (LESO) Program, also called the 1033 Program. This program lets local law enforcement agencies receive surplus U.S. Department of Defense equipment — such as vehicles, clothing, tools, and tactical gear — at little or no cost. Renewal requires Commissioners Court approval each year. File number: 26-4380.
Harris County Sheriff's Office receives surplus federal military equipment through this program. Commissioners Court votes yearly on whether to keep participating. Residents may want to know how their sheriff's office gets its equipment.
