Russo, City Manager <br /> FROM: Fred A. Maas, Police Chief <br /> Michael A. Grandinetti, Police Captain <br /> DATE: 3/17/2016 <br /> Approval to Expend Partial Forfeiture (LETF) Funds to <br /> cover travel expenses to send the police Honor Guard to <br /> RE: the National Police Memorial in Washington, D.C. and for <br /> the purchase of one (1) iPad tablet and seven (7) iPad • <br /> tablet cases for our investigative services unit, in an <br /> amount not to exceed $5,779.28 <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> It is recommended that the City Commission approve the expenditure <br /> of partial Law Enforcement Trust Funds (LETF), previously awarded to <br /> the Police Department as the result of investigative participation in <br /> forfeiture and seizure cases. These funds are permissible by law to be <br /> spent for the purchases of police equipment, community policing <br /> efforts and other law enforcement activities. It is requested that we be <br /> permitted to utilize up to $5,779.28 of said funds on deposit for such <br /> purpose. <br /> REASONS: <br /> Our Investigative Services Unit was recently awarded a grant for the <br /> purchase of six iPad tablets to enhance our investigators ability to have <br /> more case information with them while out of the office, following up <br /> cases. Unfortunately, with the limited amount of grant funds available, <br /> we were one short of providing all detectives with an iPad. With the use <br /> of LETF monies, we would purchase one additional iPad and seven <br /> iPad cases. <br /> 63 <br />
