The 1033 program is part of the government's Defense Logistics Agency Disposition Services to transfer excess military equipment to civilian law enforcement agencies. Following the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri last August, President Barack Obama ordered a multi-agency review of the program. Now the Department of Defense is asking for some of the equipment they gave out back from the agencies they transferred it to. Carlos Torres is the Branch Chief for the DLA's Law Enforcement Support Office. Federal Drive host Tom Temin asked him about the background of the 1033 program and what they plan to do next.
