<br />Local Law Ellforcement Block Grallts Program <br />Florida Department of Law Enforcement <br /> <br />E. Grant Purpose and Description: <br /> <br />Based on the Program Purpose Areas selected in Section II, D, briefly describe how the <br />LLEBG sub grant funding will impact upon the reduction and eradication of illegal drugs <br />in Florida. <br /> <br />(Limit: One page per Program Purpose Area). <br /> <br />The City of Sunny Isles Beach is a small municipality approximately 2.5 miles long and <br />approximately .5 miles wide. The City is located on the northeast coast of Miami-Dade <br />County Florida and consists of residential, business and several hoteVmotels. <br />The Beaches and Hotels in Sunny Isles Beach attract and host thousands of visitors from <br />our surrounding inland cities as well as visitors from all over the world. <br /> <br />The Sunny Isles Beach Police Department has several specialized units assigned to <br />specific tasks and patrol functions. A few of the units consist of but are not limited to <br />Marine Patrol, ATV's and Undercover Detectives. These units are responsible for the <br />patrol of our ever-popular beaches and waterways as well as the everyday responsibilities <br />for the safety of our residents, business owners, consumers and our many visitors. <br /> <br />Unfortunately, the beaches and hotel/motel areas are very popular for attracting drug <br />dealers as well as drug users. Therefore, our officers have the difficult task of identifying <br />and eliminating this criminal element from our city. <br /> <br />Unlike the tools available to our road patrol officers that provide instant access to Criminal <br />(FCIC/NCIC) and Drivers License Checks via their Laptop Computers, this tool is not <br />available to our specialized units due to the unique modes of their transportation and the <br />risk of damage to the equipment. <br /> <br />With the use of funds made available by the "Local Law Enforcement Block Grants <br />Program", we would immediately purchase seven (7) RIM Wireless Interactive Devices <br />that would allow our specialized units to have immediate wireless access to criminal <br />checks from anywhere within the city (Waterway, Beach, Hotel Rooms, etc.). This would <br />also allow the officers to conduct many more criminal subject checks without the delays of <br />our ever busy radio system, resulting in more arrest and deterring the street level drug <br />dealers and users from loitering on our beaches and waterways. <br /> <br />Subgrant Application Package <br /> <br />SFY 2001 <br />Section II - ~ <br /> <br />Revised 9/14/00 <br />
