MEMORANDUM
TO:
The Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM:
Fred A. Maas, Police Chief & Michael A. Grandinetti, Police Captain
DATE:

RE:
Approval to Expend Partial Forfeiture (DOJ) Funds for the
purchase of miscellaneous investigative equipment to be used by
our detached detective and his HIDTA group, in an amount not to
exceed $10,000.00
RECOMMENDATION:
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 law to be spent for the purchases of police equipment
and other law enforcement activities. It is requested that we be permitted to
utilize up to $10,000.00 of said funds on deposit for such purpose
REASONS:
The Sunny Isles Beach Police Department actively participates in an FBI 1 HIDTA
(High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area) Initiative Group that conducts numerous
ongoing proactive investigations and has a need for the attached listed
equipment.
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
enhancement of law enforcement. All of the below 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.
