RE:
Approval to Expend Partial Forfeiture (DOJ) Funds for a Community
Policing Event and Public Safety Equipment as Prescribed by DOJ
Regulations. in the amount up to $41,000.00
RECOMMENDA TION:
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the expenditure of partial Federal
(DOJ) Forfeiture Funds, previously awarded to the Police Department as the results of
investigative participation in forfeiture and seizure cases. These funds are permissible by
laws to be spent for approved community policing events and other law enforcement
activities. It is requested that we be permitted to utilize up to $41,000.00 of said funds on
deposit for such purpose.
REASONS:
The Sunny Isles Beach Police Department actively participates in and sponsors approved
events, activities, and scholarship programs, etc., designed for enhancing community
policing events, public safety equipment and law enforcement relationships.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
One of the benefits of participating in and providing personnel into high intensity
narcotics investigations is the sharing of confiscated proceeds for the continued
enhancement of relationships between law enforcement and our community. This
specific event will be a combined cultural and public safety event sponsored and hosted
by the police department for a dual purpose of education and entertainment in public
safety. In addition, a portion of these funds will be utilized to purchase and install a
lightning prediction warning system for our recreation / community parks. These
expenditures are authorized expenditure and are designed towards charitable, public
safety and crime prevention programs.
