To: The Commission, City Manager and Mayor of Sunny Isles Beach
From: ~d A, Maas, ChiefofPolice
Date: July 18,2002
Subject: Forfeiture Funds Expenditure
Recommendation~
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the expenditure of partial
forfeiture funds, previously awarded to the Police Department as the results of
investigative participation in forfeiture and seizure cases, Under Florida law, these
funds maybe spent for purchases of police equipment and other law enforcement
activities, It is requested that we be permitted to utilize $21,876.00 of said funds on
deposit for such purpose,
Reason~
Shortly after the formation of the police department, the U.S. Customs Bureau
awarded this agency use of a Fountain 27' boat for law enforcement activities. The
vessel was older and needed some repairs. Over the past three years, the wear and
tear from use has caused additional needs and repairs including the replacement of
both engines. The vessel itself is extremely seaworthy and useful in law
enforcement activities. The repairs and replacement equipment would ensure marine
patrol coverage for many years to come, The requested expenditures are authorized
under Florida law and are designed to enhance Community Policing and law
enforcement within our city.
Additional Information~
The existence and usefulness of a marine patrol by the police department has been a
well-known community-policing tool highly accepted and appreciated by the
residents of Sunny Isles Beach. In order to continue this practice and to ensure the
safety of those residents who live in areas with water access and to control the
safety of our waterways, it is recommended that the above expenditure be granted.
These expenditures fall within the guidelines of our mandatory spending on Crime
Prevention and Community Policing Programs.
