Some of the equipment they get is very expensive to maintain also. The local town turned a bunch of stuff back in due to the cost of maintenance on it.

That partially makes sense, but they seem to be outgunned without it. Also, when they're armed with the military stuff, it's not the best time to approach them. I don't see them using it unless they're in some kind of situation. I have never seen a random cop on the street carrying automatic weapons and driving armored vehicles.
