His DEA, HIDTA Group, in an Amount Not to Exceed S25,000.00
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that 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 $25,000.00 of said funds on deposit for such purpose.
REASONS:
The Sunny Isles Beach Police Department actively participates in a DEA / 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 attached 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.
