Theodore Kim of the Indianapolis Star used local records on homeland security spending to show that “counties haven’t coordinated spending and have ended up buying redundant or outlandish gear that might never be used. Other purchases have served more to support day-to-day police and fire operations than to prepare for disasters.” A lack of uniformity among equipment purchased also hampers the overall effectiveness of the spending.
