Grandinetti, Police Captain <br />9/20/2012 <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />RE: Approval to Expend Partial Forfeiture (DOJ) Funds for Tactical <br />Police Equipment, Marine Patrol Equipment, Unmarked Police <br />Vehicle and Security Gate Access System, in an amount not to <br />exceed $48,147.00 <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve the expenditure of partial <br />Federal (DOJ) Forfeiture Funds, previously awarded to the Police Department as <br />the results of investigative participation in forfeiture and seizure cases. These <br />funds are permissible by law to be spent for the purchases of police equipment <br />and other law enforcement activities. It is requested that we be permitted to <br />utilize up to $48,147.00 of said funds on deposit for such purpose. <br />REASONS: <br />With the unexpected need for tactical police equipment, security electronic <br />devices, vehicles and marine patrol equipment, the Police Department, if <br />authorized, will use DOJ forfeiture funds to purchase the attached items. <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br />One of the benefits of participating in and providing personnel into high intensity <br />narcotics investigations is the sharing of confiscated proceeds for the <br />enhancement of law enforcement. The below listed item is an authorized <br />expenditure and is designed towards charitable and crime prevention programs, <br />enhancement of law enforcement equipment as well as legal costs associated <br />with the asset forfeiture process. <br />http: / /sibagenda. sibfl. netlagendalPreview. aspx ?ItemID =863 &MeetinglD= O &MeetingDate... 9/13/2012 <br />
