The simulator will create scenarios in a <br />training environment that will teach our officers how to best respond in high stress situations. The <br />technology uses the same weapons our officers carry to include tasers and rifles to provide a realistic <br />response. This training aid is an addition to our training program that will undoubtedly provide our <br />officers with experiences that will make them better. We are seeking to utilize Department of Justice <br />forfeiture funds in an amount not to exceed $44,464.60 to purchase the simulator. <br />Additionally the funds will allow the police department to enter into an agreement with Doug <br />Robertson to act as a consultant to achieve and maintain accredited status by the Florida Commission <br />for Law Enforcement Accreditation. He will assist in the evaluation of the Police Department's currerr <br />policies, procedures, and all other forms of written directives to determine if they meet or exceed the <br />minimum standards required for accredited status. We are seeking to utilize Department of Justice <br />forfeiture funds in an amount not to exceed $97,000.00 to acquire his services. <br />FUNDING SOURCE: <br />Funds have been appropriated in account no. 600-3-5210-XXXXXX-XXXXX. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />Item Number: 10.13 <br />245 <br />
