Grandinetti, Police Captain <br />DATE: 5/10/2012 <br />RE: Approval to Expend Partial Forfeiture (LETF) Funds for the <br />purchase of Task Force Computer Tablets, Community Policing <br />Items and 2013 Scholarship Program, in an amount not to exceed <br />$28,252.00 <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve the expenditure of partial <br />Law Enforcement Trust Funds (LETF), previously awarded to the Police <br />Department as the result of investigative participation in forfeiture and seizure <br />cases. These funds are permissible by law to be spent for the purchases of <br />police equipment, community policing efforts and other law enforcement <br />activities. It is requested that we be permitted to utilize up to $28,252.00 of said <br />funds on deposit for such purpose. <br />REASONS: <br />The Sunny Isles Beach Police Department actively participates in a Miami -Dade <br />Police Departments Narcotics Group that conducts numerous ongoing proactive <br />investigations and has a need for the attached listed computer equipment. The <br />Sunny Isles Beach Police Department also supports many Community Policing <br />Projects and Programs. <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <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. <br />FUNDING SOURCE: <br />http: / /sibagenda.sibfl .net /agenda /Preview.aspx ?ItemlD =791 &MeetingID= O &MeetingDate °... 5/3/2012 <br />
