<br /> <br /> <br />Police Department <br /> <br />Fred Moos <br />Chief of Police <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />The Commission, City Manager and Mayor of Sunny Isles Beach <br />~, Maas, Chief of Police <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />January 13, 2005 <br /> <br />Subj ect: <br /> <br />Forfeiture Expenditures <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve the expenditure of partial <br />forfeiture funds, previously awarded to the Police Department as the results of <br />investigative participation in forfeiture and seizure cases. These funds are <br />permissible by law to be spent for purchases of police equipment and other law <br />enforcement activities. It is requested that we be permitted to utilize $45,000.00 of <br />said funds on deposit for such purpose. <br /> <br />Reason: <br /> <br />One of the benefits of participating in and providing personnel into high intensity <br />narcotics investigations is the sharing of confiscated proceeds for the enhancement <br />of law enforcement. All of the attached and listed items are authorized expenditures <br />and are designed towards charitable and crime prevention programs, enhancement <br />of law enforcement equipment as well as legal costs associated with the asset <br />forfeiture process. <br /> <br />Additional Information: <br /> <br />To date, the City of Sunny Isles Beach Police Department has been awarded <br />additional monies in confiscated funds. Certain needs exist on behalf of the <br />department whereby the agency participates in and contributes to crime prevention <br />programs as well as the enhancement of our equipment. <br /> <br />Agenda Item <br /> <br />Date <br />
