Police. Department has been approved in the amount of $45,000. This award is from the South Florida High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Crime and Drug Demand Reduction Program to support your efforts at the site in the City of Miami that you proposed be the focus of a special initiative. I may mention that the results of the overall program's effort continue to be very productive. The Crime and Drug Demand Reduction Program is an effort to eliminate or significantly reduce drug trafficking and related crime; to reduce or eliminate factors leading to drug abuse; and to nurture and develop indigenous leadership to assist residents in attaining self sufficiency in five "at risk" communities spanning South Florida's tri -county area. The strategy is to continue the attack on crime through intensive enforcement resulting in arrests and convictions in federal and state courts and the seizure of contraband and assets of drug traffickers, drug dealers, career criminals and violent crime offenders active in the selected communities. Specific attention will also be placed on truancy reduction. Enforcement will be reduced to a maintenance level over time while residents and leaders are empowered to sustain the reduced crime level, recovery and growth of the community. This will be accomplished through leadership skill development for adult. and youth members, the creation or enhancement of community-based coalitions, employment preparation, job placement, grantsmanship training, and youth tutoring and mentoring. Your community's IATA award is in two parts. Part One is the Law Enforcement Overtime initiative, in which police officers work with community leaders and representatives to develop an enforcement plan to remove from the community drug traffickers and dealers as well as violent drug involved offenders and career criminals. A total of $33,000 is provided for this Part One Initiative. These funds are to be used for overtime hours dedicated solely to the target site for the twelve-month period of February 1, 2002 ending on January 31, 2003. No employee fringe benefits will be paid by IATA. Your city will be responsible for this funding. We will continue to use the same tactical and operational approach to guide us for this effort. Keeping in mind that we are united with our communities in an effort to eradicate crime and drugs. 12191 Chief Raul Martinez City of Miami Police Department December 27. 2001 Page 2 of 2 Part Two is the continuing Community Policing Crime Reduction initiative. The goal of this component is to continue the elimination or significant reduction of drug trafficking and related gime through the empowerment of the targeted communities' adults and youth members. It has been proven nationwide that community policing has caused a tremendous positive interaction between law enforcement and the community, and as a result, major crime battles have been successfully fought. -The award for -this pait ofthe"program is $T2,e00-fvr•-thc-12-month period of February 1, 2002 though January 31, 2003.
