Maas, Chief of Police <br />Michael A. Grandinetti, Police Captain <br /> <br />4/21/2011 <br /> <br />Approval, authorizing the Chief of Police to Expend up to $72,000.00 <br />from the Federal Forfeiture (DOl) Funds for the Purchase of Two (2) <br />Outboard Boat Motors, Surveillance Cameras & Equipment for Heritage <br />Park, Motorcycle Trailer and Miscellaneous Community Policing Items <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve the expenditure of partial forfeiture <br />funds, previously awarded to the Police Department as the result of investigative <br />participation in forfeiture and seizure cases. These funds are permissible by law to be <br />spent for purchases of police equipment and other law enforcement activities. It is <br />requested that we be permitted to utilize up to $72,000.00 of said funds on deposit for <br />such purpose. <br /> <br />REASONS: <br /> <br />The Sunny Isles Beach Police Department actively participates in DEA and FBI / HIDT A <br />(High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area) Initiative Groups that conduct numerous ongoing <br />proactive investigations. One of the benefits of participating in and providing personnel <br />into high intensity narcotics investigations is the sharing of confiscated proceeds for the <br />enhancement of law enforcement and equipment. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br /> <br />Some of the requested equipment includes: new boat motors for the Sunny Isles Beach <br />Police Boat, purchase of a motorcycle trailer to transport the police motorcycles for <br />service or special events, installation of a security camera system at a City park and the <br />purchase of community policing items. <br /> <br />In order to assure adequate and reliable equipment, it is requested that we be permitted to <br />utilize up to $72,000.00 of said funds on deposit for the attached listed items. <br /> <br />Agenda Item I 0 1== <br /> <br />http://sibagenda.sibfl.net/agenda/Preview.aspx?ItemID=481 &MeetingII Date ~ - 2 L:JJ <br />
