Hans onmot Recommendation.
City Attorney
Jane A. Hines It is recommended that the City Commission approve the expenditure of partial
City Clerk forfeiture funds, previously awarded to the Police Department as the results of
investigative participation in forfeiture and seizure cases. These funds are
permissible by law to be spent for purchases of police equipment and other law
enforcement activities. It is requested that we be permitted to utilize $25,000.00 of
said funds on deposit for such purpose.
Reason.
One of the benefits of participating in and providing personnel into high intensity
narcotics investigations is the sharing of confiscated proceeds for the enhancement
of law enforcement. All of the attached and listed items are authorized expenditures
and are designed towards charitable and crime prevention programs, enhancement
of law enforcement equipment as well as legal costs associated with the asset
forfeiture process.
Additional Information.
To date, the City of Sunny Isles Beach Police Department has been awarded
additional monies in confiscated funds. Certain needs exist on behalf of the
department whereby the agency participates in and contributes to crime prevention
programs as well as the enhancement of our equipment.
