Academy Ammo Sales

Academy Ammo Sales

All Officers In response to the COVID19 pandemic, the San Antonio Police Benevolent Fund has placed limits and restrictions on our ammo sales at the San Antonio Police Academy.

The limitations and restrictions are due to the limited ammo availability, resulting in potential delays of replacement ammo shipments needed to replenish the ammo stock.

The limitations and restrictions are as follows:
• Ammo sales are restricted to Benevolent Fund members only.
• Benevolent Fund members are limited to purchasing only four boxes of ammo per day.

These limits and restrictions were necessary to ensure ammo was available to all Benevolent Fund members. These limits and restrictions will remain in effect until ammo is readily available from our distributor.

Thank you for your understanding. PAUL BIASIOLLI, CAPTAIN CHAIRMAN / BENEVOLENT FUND
