Grandinetti, Police Captain <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />7/16/2009 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Approval to Expend Partial Forfeiture (DOJ) Funds for the <br />purchase of miscellaneous investigative equipment to be used by <br />our detached detective and his HIDTA group, in an amount not to <br />exceed $10,000.00 <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve the expenditure of partial <br />Federal (DOJ) Forfeiture Funds, previously awarded to the Police Department as <br />the results of investigative participation in forfeiture and seizure cases. These <br />funds are permissible by law to be spent for the purchases of police equipment <br />and other law enforcement activities. It is requested that we be permitted to <br />utilize up to $10,000.00 of said funds on deposit for such purpose <br /> <br />REASONS: <br /> <br />The Sunny Isles Beach Police Department actively participates in an FBI 1 HIDTA <br />(High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area) Initiative Group that conducts numerous <br />ongoing proactive investigations and has a need for the attached listed <br />equipment. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <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 <br />enhancement of law enforcement. All of the below listed items are authorized <br />expenditures and are designed towards charitable and crime prevention <br />programs, enhancement of law enforcement equipment as well as legal costs <br />associated with the asset forfeiture process. <br /> <br />FUNDING SOURCE: <br /> <br />Agenda Item <br /> <br />lD F <br />l-llo'D~ <br /> <br />Date <br />http://sibagenda. sibfl.net/agenda/Preview .aspx?I temID=5 8&MeetingID=0. <br />
