MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commission
VIA: Christopher J. Russo, City Manager
FROM: Fred A. Maas, Police Chief
Michael A. Grandinetti, Police Captain
DATE: 5/17/2018
RE: Authorization to Expend Partial Forfeiture (DOJ)Funds
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 in an amount not to exceed $125,631.10
REASONS:
The Forfeiture Funds will be used to purchase two PALO ALTO PA-
3220 Network Firewalls, two Catalyst 4500-x 16 Port 10G IP Switches,
new office furniture for the Police Department, the replacement of the
inflatable boat bumpers on the police boat, and a new laptop computer
for our detached detective, in an amount not to exceed $125,631.10.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
These funds are permissible by law to be spent for the purchases of
police equipment and other law enforcement activities. The attached
list of equipment will enhance our police operations and it is requested
that we be permitted to utilize up to $125,631.10 of said funds on
deposit for such purpose.
The Sunny Isles Beach Police Department actively participates in DEA
and HIDTA(High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area) Initiative Groups that
conduct numerous ongoing proactive investigations and now has a
need for the attached listed law enforcement equipment.
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.
