The Electronic Proving Grounds of the US Army has a grant program to transfer equipment to police agencies for use in counter drug work or terrorism protection (or at least that's how the grant needs to be worded).  Over the last few years I was able to obtain a thermal imager and night vision goggles, and associated training at 0 cost to the PD.

Agencies can get thermal & night vision, video systems, wires and much more.   It is a bit of a tedious process, but well worth it if you are selected.
