O'Brien Chief of Police, Miami Police Department 400 NW 2nd Avenue Miami, FL 33128 Dear Chief O'Brien: March 2, 2000 The City of Miami has been selected by Attorney General Robert Butterworth as the venue for the 15th National Conference on Preventing Crime in the Black Community. In 1995 and 1997 the City hosted two very successful conferences that not only generated much needed revenue but also highlighted the promise and beauty of Miami. This year's conference, which is anticipated to exceed previous successes, will be held May 31— June 3, 2000 at the Wyndham Miami Biscayne Bay and the Biscayne Bay Marriott Hotel and Marina. Both the City of Miami and the Miami -Dade Police Departments have been recognized and included as this year's hosts. Previous successes were due to the level of support you and your staff provided as host and sponsor. Consequently, we again solicit your assistance by way of funding for some of the many programs and activities planned.. These funds will help offset the costs associated with planning a major conference. This year's focus will be on successful programs and their effectiveness in reducing gang involvement, drug use and other criminal activities through increased self esteem, job opportunities and educational performances of our youth. You and your staff are encouraged to attend and participate in the various conference events as well as take advantage of the invaluable opportunity to showcase the Police Department. Should you have any questions or require additional information regarding this request, kindly contact conference liaisons Shirley Richardson at (305) 795-2325 or Major Gerald Darling at (305) 579- 6476. A conference brochure is attached for your information.
